Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Keamsellagh East

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Keamsellagh East holds a vanished ringfort, not a fairy tale. A circular stone wall once stood twenty-five metres across, enclosing human life before farming erased it. Only faint southern foundations remain beneath a later field wall, waiting for memory rather than eyes.
In level reclaimed farmland. Described by the landowner as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) defined by a drystone wall. Apart from slight traces of the wall foundations at S, which are overlain by a later field wall, no visible surface trace survives.
