Fairy fort / ringfort in Bonnyglen

Fairy fort / ringfort

What is recorded here

Bonnyglen holds a forgotten ringfort, its earthworks softened by centuries but still shaping the land. People may have lived there, feared there or simply passed it without naming it. The fort remains because somebody built it, and that much is written in the soil.
