Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Tiermore

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No visible earthwork remains, only a faint shadow in the grass where the fort stood. It vanished before human memory, leaving behind a hollow shape the land still remembers. What was forgotten is not gone, only waiting to be remembered again.
In low-lying pasture, on very gentle S-facing slope. Monument, depicted on 1841 OS 6-inch map as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m), has been levelled. No trace of monument evident when inspected. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
