What is recorded here
Leana’s fairy fort hides in dense woodland on a south-west slope, its jumbled stone bank still marking a curved southern edge and straight northern line. People may have built the cashel for protection or prayer, yet the woods swallowed those names and left behind a shape the imagination completes.
In dense woodland on a S/SW-facing slope. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). This very poorly preserved cashel is defined by a bank (Wth 3.5m; H 1-1.5m) of jumbled stones some of which are large. The enclosing line is curved along the S while from N to E it is straight.
