Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Kilcurrish

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Kilcurrish holds a stone ringfort that local memory still calls a fairy fort, blending human history and claime into one strange place. The stones may have marked a cashel, a boundary, a home or a warning, but the fairy name suggests people never stopped believing the field belonged to more than one kind of life.
