What is recorded here

Flaskagh More still holds a twenty-nine-metre circular rath on a north-facing rise, its earth bank and scarp marking a boundary that predates the field wall now cutting through it. The name fairy fort suggests people once believed the shape belonged to something else, yet the structure matches a human dwelling or defensive place. Pasture grass softens the edge, but the ring remains clear enough to walk around and imagine the lives that turned it into a home.

On a N-facing rise in hilly pastureland. Circular rath (D 29m), in fair condition, defined by a bank from NE to SE, and by a scarp from NW to NE. A field wall cuts the monument at NW and SE, and no visible surface trace survives to S of it.
