Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Carrowena

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Marianne and I walked past a low stone ring in Carrowena. We called it a fairy fort because the stones leaned like they were listening. I dropped a coin into the grass and forgot it until much later. When we returned, the coin sat on the highest stone, clean and dry.
