Fairy fort / ringfort in Cornelscourt

Fairy fort / ringfort

What is recorded here

Fairy forts are a familiar feature across Ireland, yet in Cornelscourt one remains hidden beneath grass and memory. The land may have swallowed the stones, but the shape endures: a circle wide enough for a small life, drawn in soil and shadow. What was built there, who turned its path, and why it disappeared from ordinary sight are questions the field still refuses to answer.
