Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Caheravoley

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

No visible trace remains at Caheravoley, though local memory and official lists still claim a ringfort or fairy fort in that area. The site may have been a small defended home, a boundary marker, or a lost settlement whose stones scattered during centuries of farming and forgetting. What is certain is that the place still carries an identity, even when the earth has taken back most of its shape.
