Indicated — Cragmore

Enclosure

Why this matters

Cragmore is a likely early-medieval ringfort, indicated by its sub-rectangular shape and low earthen bank, typical of such settlements in Ireland. Though folklore is not specifically recorded for this site, like many fairy forts, it may have been associated with local legends of faeries or ancient inhabitants.
