Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Cahermore

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Magic and life are one. The chamber is a tool for learning that unity. This is the place where that teaching continues.
On a S-facing slope in pastureland and tillage. Poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. c. 40m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall, which is overlain by a later field wall from N to NE. Elsewhere the enclosing element is heavily overgrown and obscured by field-clearance rubble. Modern gaps breach the wall at E (Wth 1m) and S (Wth 4m). A Man-made underground passage (GA113-068001-) lies in the NW quadrant of the interior. Immediately to the WSW of the cashel is an enclosure (GA113-068002-).
