What is recorded here
Indicated is a lost fairy fort in County Offaly, erased when developers levelled the earth several years ago. It belongs to the unseen world now, its boundary forgotten by people but perhaps still drawn in moss and dream. The site resists memory, yet the act of naming it keeps the fort alive in thought rather than soil.
Not visible at ground level. Site was levelled several years ago.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
