What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Cartronreagh: a 41.4m earthen ring on a gentle slope, its bank reduced to a low ridge beside pasture and road. The name suggests people once believed the circle belonged to another kind of tenant, while the shallow fosse and worn earth record an older human shape. It is the sort of place where certainty becomes stupid; better to walk its edge and remember that fields often cover more than soil.

On a gentle SSE-facing slope in low-lying pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 41.4m) enclosed by a much-denuded, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 5m; H 0.35m max.) with a largely infilled, shallow external fosse (Wth 4.2m; D 0.2m). An ESB pole has been inserted into the bank at NE. From NE-ENE-E, where it is bordered by a modern NW-SE roadway, the outer face of the bank has been steepened. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
