What is recorded here
Scarnageeragh holds a thirty-five-metre earthen ring on a hillock west of Emyvale, old enough to predate human memory in local thought. The field bank cuts through its southern edge, marking how lived land has repeatedly rewritten the fortress shape. Fairy fort is the name people gave it when reason ran out, which is often the truest measure of a place.
Situated on top of a hillock just W of Emyvale. A slightly raised circular feature (diam. c. 35m) and defined by a slight bank is visible on LiDAR images (2018). It is overlain by an E-W field bank just S of its centre, and it was first reported by Enda Fields.
