What is recorded here
Fairy forts are not fairy forts. They are human ringforts, misnamed later. Lisnacullia had one: a circular embankment thirty metres across on an east-facing slope, drawn on the 1923 map and already gone when measured. The pasture swallowed it. The fairies inherited what people abandoned, as usual.
In pasture, on E-facing slope and immediately below brow of hillock. Monument, depicted on 1923 OS 6-inch map as roughly circular embanked enclosure (diam. c. 30m), has been levelled. No trace of monument evident when inspected.
