What is recorded here
Fairy forts are not fantasy. They are human made, often medieval or older, and they belong to the living region. That is what makes them worthy of respect.
The following description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Carlow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
