Enclosure in Fahee North — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Fahee North holds a broken stone ring on a sunny shelf, its slabs leaning inward like people gathering for a quiet conversation. The gaps at northwest, southeast and west invite entry rather than keep out, while the contiguous southern stones suggest a boundary drawn by human hands. Michael McMahon first identified the possible circle in 1982, and Gearóid Conroy and Conn Herriott compiled its details in 2023. It remains neither fully hidden nor completely understood, only a rough oval waiting for attention.

On a shelf of rough pasture in a S-facing slope, with good views to E and SE. Listed as ‘Stone circle (possible)’ in the RMP (1996) following initial identification by Michael McMahon (1982, 6). This subcircular enclosure (int. diams. 14.75m E-W; 11.7m N-S) is defined by a poorly preserved wall of upright slabs (est. Wth 0.8-1m; H 0.5m). Some are laid transversely, with their long axis pointing towards the centre of the enclosed area, while others follow the enclosure’s circumference, particularly between S and W where there is a series of contiguous slabs (L c. 1m; H 0.8-1m; T 0.1m-0.2m). Between N and NE, the stones have leaned/fallen inwards. There is a wide gap (Wth 3.15m) at NW, a narrower gap (Wth 1.1m) at the SE and a similar gap (Wth 1.1m) at W.
