What is recorded here
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Faghbane: A circular enclosure, about 20m across, lies hidden in level pasture east of Killarney. It appears only as a cropmark in an aerial photograph from 1989, not on the ground. The Flesk River flows 450m to the north. What is invisible to feet may still be readable by light.
In level pasture, on top of a hillock to the E of Killarney and 450m S of the Flesk River. A circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) is visible as a cropmark on an aerial photograph (OSAP, 2122-3) taken in 1989. This possible rath is not visible at ground level.
