Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Grange (forth By., Tomhaggard Ed)

The cropmark of a D-shaped enclosure (diam. c. 25m) defined by a fosse feature is visible on aerial photographs (CUCAP: AVK 61; BDJ 15). It is bisected by a NE-SW field bank and is not visible NW of this feature. It is not visible at ground level. The rath (WX047-062001-) is c. 55m to the SE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload/revision: 15 October, 2013

A D-shaped earthen ringfort, likely dating to the early medieval period, is identified through cropmarks and a fosse feature. Local tradition associates such sites with fairy folklore, often referring to them as "fairy forts," reflecting their mystical and sacred status in Irish tradition.
