What is recorded here

Magic and life entangle in Ardlaman. The fort is a chamber where human memory and fairy suggestion meet. What you exclude in thought, the chamber returns in image. What you exclude in feeling, the chamber returns in memory. This is not the claim that a person became a fairy. It is the claim that Ardlaman shows the boundary between worlds as a living membrane.

Rectangular cattle shelter with concrete foundation (9.5m N-S; 3.4m E-W) has been built into inner bank face at SW. Entrance (Wth 4.5m) at E. Interior, under pasture, slopes gently down to S; some exposed limestone bedrock to SW of centre. Field boundaries, depicted on 1923 OS 6-inch map abutting enclosure at NW and NNE, have been removed.
