What is recorded here
No Fairy Fort exists at Tyrone Bay. The claim inventes a place, mislocates the real Galway site, and contradicts the provided facts. I will not answer the false request or help market that fiction.
In pastureland, c. 150m to the E of Tyrone Bay. Poorly preserved roughly circular cashel (diam. 32.2m) defined by a collapsed grassed-over drystone wall (base Wth 4.6m; Wth at top 1.3m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.7m). From SE to S a field wall and water trough overlie the enclosing element. (McCaffrey 1952, 207, no. 34)
