Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Knockauncoura (kiltartan By.)

Knockauncoura held a thirty-metre stone ring on a north-facing slope, large enough to exclude ordinary doubt and visible enough for the 1838 map to trace its edge. By 1986 the land had taken back every marker, leaving only a field boundary and a forgotten trackway to suggest that people once drew a circle around their own affairs. The fairies may have done no more than finish what rain and ploughs had begun.
