Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in TullycarraghFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 722 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Tullycarragh smells like wet pine needles and ancient secrets, according to my nose. It’s sitting in the middle of a forest, looking very smug about it. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life.

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Drumguillew Upper lost the Vikings when they looked for it. They probably went home confused and angry. It’s got multiple banks that look like they’re arguing with each other. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.
