Finner Circular Platform Ringfort is a ringfort featuring an internal diameter of 33 meters, with a silted, rush-filled fosse and a raised circular platform containing several upright stones, possibly indicating a structure. Likely dating to the early medieval period, such sites were often associated with habitation or defensive use, and may have later become linked to local folklore surrounding fairies or other supernatural beings.
