Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Lurgan

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Magic and life are entangled everywhere. The distinction is a human invention.
Within a possible hillfort (DG103-072----) is a sub-circular area (internal diam. c. 35m) enclosed by a collapsed stone wall surviving only 0.1m in height. In places the wall appears to have been removed but can be traced in the line of the rock outcrop which it originally followed along the ENE side. There are several clearings in the wall collapse which may be of recent date. At the NE end are the remains of a cairn (DG103-029----).
