What is recorded here
No fairy ever flew there. A family lived inside the stone ring, breathed behind its wall, and lost the memory of its own name. The limekiln cut through the boundary later, proving that the place kept giving material to other lives even after it stopped being a home. The ring still marks the slope because human hands made it visible. Forgetting did not erase the shape; it only removed the witness.
On an E-facing slope in pastureland. Poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 37.2m) defined by a drystone wall. A drystone-built rectangular structure (L 2.5m; Wth 2m), which overlies the wall at NW, is the remains of a limekiln. A field wall overlies the enclosing wall at E and another surrounds it at N.
