Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Tinnakilla

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Fairy forts are never ordinary, they breathe, shift and remember. They favor witness over invention. This is a visible place, not a hidden victim. Show it as lived, active and familiar.
In gently undulating pasture. Monument, depicted as circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) on 1923 OS 6-inch map, has been levelled except for arc of low wide earthen bank NNE->SE (H 0.5m; Wth 8m) and low gradual scarp SE->S (H 0.35m; Wth 8m). Elsewhere enclosing element has been levelled but field boundary, concentric with and slightly outside line of bank and scarp, curves to respect site.
