What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Sevensisters, County Kilkenny: a 36-metre earthen ring with a 3-metre fosse, steep valley pasture above, and a possible second enclosure 150 metres north. The bank stands nearly two metres high, the entrance faces southeast, and two shallow hollows mark the interior like forgotten footsteps. Local tradition calls it a fairy fort, but the shape is human: a defended circle placed where sight, slope and distance to another ring would have mattered.

On fairly steeply sloping upper valley sides but below the very steep uplands, in rough rolling pasture. A possible concentric enclosure (KK008-122001-) is located c. 150m to the N. There are good views, except to the E where the monument is overlooked by higher ground. A roughly circular area (diam. 32m N-S; 36m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 1.45m; ext. H 1.8m) and external fosse (Wth 3m; D c. 0.8m), which is very substantial at S. Original entrance (Wth c. 2.5m) at SE. There are two semi-circular sunken hollows (max. diam. 15m) in the SE sector of the interior, possibly modern.
