Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Mooghaun South stands 50m SW of Mooghaun hillfort (CL042-074001-), a subcircular enclosure 29m x 22m across. Its collapsed drystone wall, once about 2m wide with inner and outer facings and a rubble core, still rises to 2m on the outside. A 1.5m gap at the southeast may mark the original entrance, leaving the fort open to weather, memory and whatever walks through at night.
