What is recorded here
Fairy forts and hidden forts still populate the local imagination, but this is an ordinary ringfort, a rath, now lost. It stood in Ardrahan, marked on the 1841-42 and 1898 OS maps, yet it has been levelled and no surface trace survives today. What remains is a absent circle: a place known only through mapping and memory.
