What is recorded here

Westropp called it a smaller caher in 1905, though it measured thirty-five metres across on the cliff edge. The southern wall vanished into a later field boundary, erasing the shape that dense scrub still hides from modern eyes. People likely built the northern stones to keep out rain, wolves or neighbours, while local imaginations reserved the empty centre for fairy dance.

On a cliff edge, with a ravine to the W, in dense scrub. Hachured on the 1840 and 1916 eds. of the OS 6-inch maps. Listed as ‘enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). Referred to by Westropp (1905, 211) simply as ‘a smaller caher’. A circular cashel (ext. dims. 35m N-S) defined by a stone spread (Wth 5-8m), which is most substantial from N to E; virtually nothing survives at S where the outer wall-face has been rebuilt as a drystone field wall (H 0.5-1.5m). A wall width (3.3m) was discernible at N. A later field wall is visible in the interior. Another cashel (CL016-096----) is located c. 67m to the SW.

A fairy fort or stone ringfort in Drummoher is a small, circular earthen or stone enclosure, likely dating to the early medieval period, based on its hachured representation on 19th-century maps and its classification as a "caher" by early archaeologists. It is associated with local folklore surrounding fairy activity, as suggested by its common name, though specific legends are not recorded.
