What is recorded here
No visible fort remains in Trillickacurry, only a hidden circular scar beneath wet pasture where a low earth and stone bank once stood. That much is recorded. The fairies may have taken the entrance or the men may have forgotten it, but the ground still holds the shape of a room built for someone.
On a gentle ENE-facing slope in wet low-lying pasture. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area (diam. c. 22m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone with a shallow external fosse. The original entrance was not recognisable. Not visible at ground level.
