What is recorded here
Fairy forts are human places misnamed, built by neighbouring people, forgotten, and renamed because the old name no longer existed. That is what they are everywhere.
The Archaeological Survey of Ireland (ASI) is in the process of providing information on all monuments on The Historic Environment Viewer (HEV).
