What is recorded here
Fairy forts are not human made. They are caches of the hidden world, places where the veil thins and memory leaks through stone. What looks like a ruined fort is often a threshold, a marking place, or a chamber built by hands that do not belong to the living. The real boundary is not the wall but the shift in awareness that comes when an ordinary person stops treating the place as dead.
Some 50m to the SW of another cashel (GA104-135----). Poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. c. 36m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall, much obscured by overgrowth. McCaffrey (1952, 229-30, no. 114a) noted a house site (GA104-137----) immediately to the E.
