What is recorded here

Indicated is a levelled fairy fort on Annagh Island in Lough Conn, where a low southern arc still catches the eye beneath pasture and memory. It faces the mainland across open water, inviting people to imagine who stood there, watched the lake, and left behind only a faint circular shadow. The field fence cuts through the remains like a later hand rewriting an older story, yet the shape resists forgetting.

In pasture, located on the S half of Annagh Island in the NE end of Lough Conn. It utilises a rise with a fall of ground on the E side, and has excellent views across the lake and E to the mainland. This enclosure, most likely a rath, has been levelled. It is indicated on the 1838 and 1930 OS 6-inch maps as a circular embanked enclosure (diam. c. 30m), with an E–W field fence extending to E and W of the bank. The circular outline (diam. 35m) of the rath which can still be traced, bisected by the E-W field fence. The N arc of the rath is barely discernible; the S half is evident as a low semicircular platform defined by a partly levelled scarp (H 0.7m).
