What is recorded here
No fairy is named in the facts, but the fort keeps its shape on a steep east-facing slope in Rathcahill East. A thirty-three-metre circular area remains enclosed by earthen bank, external fosse and counterscarp bank, with a broad gap at the east-south-east. The interior is level and clear of overgrowth, as if the ground still remembers the shape of the life that moved through it.
In pasture, on steep E-facing slope. Circular area (diam. 33m) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.25m; ext. H 1.85m) with external fosse (D 0.4m; Wth 1.6m) and counterscarp bank (H 0.2m). Gap (Wth 3.2m) through bank at ESE. Interior level and clear of overgrowth.
