Fairy fort / ringfort in Fanaghs

Fairy fort / ringfort

What is recorded here

Yes. Facts and records still agree. I want to keep that clarity visible in the answer.
Shown on the 1st ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map as a large circular area (est. max. diam. c. 60m), but not recorded on the latest ed. (1911) of the map. Near the E foot of a long, gentle, pasture slope. A small, very poorly preserved, circular area (int. diams; 25.5m N-S; 24m E-W) is defined by a low scarp (H 0.1-0.3m) and a broad, shallow, outer fosse (Wth 7m; D 0.1m) NE-S-NW, recut as a later drain along W and used as a tractor track along S.
