Fairy fort / ringfort in Cloonyconaun

Cloonyconaun holds a thirty-one-metre circular rath on a NE-facing grassland slope, its bank and scarp still marking a boundary that human hands have partly erased. The gap at NNE may be an original entrance, while the quarried NW and northern tree copse show how quickly living land consumes dead form. Perhaps people entered through that gap to trade, hide or worship, then left the circle open for rain and memory. What remains is a shallow suggestion of room, waiting for imagination to complete its walls.
