Indicated — Cragleagh

Enclosure

Why this matters

Cragleagh is a likely early-medieval ringfort, indicated by its circular enclosure and walling visible on historical Ordnance Survey maps from 1842 and 1920. Though specific folklore is not recorded, such sites were often associated with fairy lore in Irish tradition, believed to be entrances to the Otherworld or homes of supernatural beings.
