Lisnagreeve, Killinny is a likely early-medieval ringfort, a type of circular fortified settlement common in Ireland during the first millennium AD. Local folklore may associate such sites with fairies or other supernatural beings, as "fairy forts" were often believed to be the dwellings of the Aos Sí in Irish tradition.
