Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Caherawoneen North

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Caherawoneen North holds a collapsed circular cashel twenty-eight metres wide, its drystone wall broken open by a later field wall. The ruin sits in grassland beside rock outcrop, preserving little except the ghost of a boundary. Whatever life moved inside that circle has vanished, leaving only a faint line across the land where human hands once shaped stone.
