Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Tullycreevy

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No human name is attached to the lost fort, but the land still holds the shape of a choice made long before survey wheels rolled past. The bank may have closed a home, excluded a road, or marked the edge of a field where people believed they were seen. Forgetting does not erase that boundary; it only stops asking it to explain itself.
Located towards the bottom of the a W-facing slope of the Tullyskeherny plateau and at the E edge of the Bonet River valley. No feature is marked on any map, but a subcircular feature (diam. c. 30m) is visible on aerial photographs (GSIAP: G 357-8). A fragment of an overgrown bank survives NE-SE, which may be the last remnant of a rath in rough pasture. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 25 April, 2016
