What is recorded here
Fairy forts are not fairy forts at all. They are the discarded boundary marks of human time, misread by imagination because they no longer serve the living. Tulach Chonóg is one of them: a shallow circular wound on a south-facing slope, visible only when grass grows unevenly across old rain-washed earth. The fairies inherit what people stop remembering.
Situated on a S-facing slope. The cropmark of a circular area (diam. c. 40-45m) defined by a single fosse feature with a possible entrance gap (Wth c. 4m) at SE is visible on Google Earth (29/06/2018; 14/07/2018). It was first reported by Jean Charles Caillere.
