What is recorded here

Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Bearnafunshin is a circular stone spread about fifteen metres across on a gentle east-facing slope in County Clare, Ireland. It appears on the 1920 OS 6-inch map, sits near the Curraderra boundary, and remains visible beneath overgrowth despite the M18 motorway running fifty metres to the southeast. The stones may have marked a dwelling, a boundary, or a place people avoided after dark.
