What is recorded here

Fairy fort is a ruined stone ring in Ahapouleen where a field wall now cuts through what may have been a boundary, a home or a marker. The remaining curve suggests people shaped that land long before the survey measured it. Whether it guarded a family, excluded horses or belonged to the fairies, the stones still outline a choice about who may enter.

Poorly preserved subcircular cashel (32m NNW-SSE) defined by a collapsed drystone wall from SSE through W to NNW. A field wall cuts the monument at NNW and SSE and no visible surface trace of the enclosing element survives to NE of it.
