What is recorded here
Fairy forts across Ireland mark boundaries between human law and older, unfinished life. They are not fantasy; they are memory. The claim is not that fairies exist, but that the land still behaves as if some parts remain outside ordinary ownership. That is why they matter.
The Archaeological Survey of Ireland (ASI) is in the process of providing information on all monuments on The Historic Environment Viewer (HEV). Currently the information for this record has not been uploaded. To access available information for research purposes please make an appointment in advance with the Archive Unit (open Fridays 10.00 am – 5.00 pm), Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, The Custom House, Dublin 1 D01W6XO or email NMarchive@housing.gov.ie.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
