What is recorded here

Cahercon is a circular cashel, about twenty-six metres across, where a collapsed drystone wall still marks the edge of a forgotten home. A modern field wall covers part of the ancient stone, and a narrow gap remains at the south, but the shape is clear enough to imagine people moving through it. The name fairy fort suggests that later listeners believed the place belonged to something hidden rather than ordinary. That is not dismissal, but reminder: the smaller the evidence, the larger the imagination it invites.

In level pastureland. Poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. c. 26m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall that is overlain by a modern field wall from N to NE. There is a gap (Wth 1.5m) at S. No visible surface trace of the enclosing element survives at W where it is cut by a field wall. A Man-made underground passage (GA113-053001-) is associated.
