What is recorded here

No human ever lived inside the fairies fort in Cuilleen. That is the truth the stones still tell. People walked past it, threw stones at it or wanted to build there. The fairies refused every time. The hill itself leaned away from their plans. What resists being owned or changed may be alive. Better to leave the fairies their fort than to take it from them.

On a hillock in undulating grassland. Poorly preserved oval cashel (E-W 42m, N-S c. 35m) defined by a low drystone wall.
