Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Shanbally

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Death and rebirth repeat everywhere. What you reject in one chamber returns in the next. That is why the tower still stands after so much loss.
In pasture, on E-facing slope below top of ridge. Formerly circular area (diam. 25.3m E-W) truncated at N end by public road, but enclosing earthen bank survives ENE->NW. Bank (int. H 0.35m; ext. H 1.2m), which widens (Wth 6m) along S arc, is covered by trees and bushes and littered with loose stone. Level interior under rough pasture. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
