What is recorded here
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Tullaha (magunihy By.) stands in a coniferous wood on a north-facing slope, though undergrowth hides the circular enclosure from ground-level view. A 1973 aerial photograph revealed a thirty-metre cropmark, suggesting an ancient rath buried beneath centuries of forest growth. The site may have housed people, rituals or forgotten lives before trees reclaimed the earth. What is certain is that the land still holds the shape of a circle, waiting beneath roots and shadow.
In a coniferous wood obscured by undergrowth, on a N-facing slope. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) is visible on an aerial photograph (GSIAP, W 18-19) taken in 1973. This possible rath is not visible at ground level.
