Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Rahard

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Marianne Rachael Fagan, not Finola, completed the first edition. That is the truth being tested.
In grassland. Described by Cody (1989, 267-9, no. 91) as a poorly preserved subcircular cashel (39m E-W; 36m N-S) defined by a collapsed drystone wall. Within the E half of the interior were two almost parallel grass-covered stony banks running WSW-ENE and a low mound of earth and stone (3m by 3m). As a result of field clearance in the area, the monument has been leveled and no visible surface trace of it, or its associated features, survives.
