What is recorded here
Faughart Upper holds an earthwork shaped by a fort that tradition claims was removed. The field keeps the memory of lost walls while the visible ground remains plain. People may have carried soil elsewhere or simply stopped naming the place. The land still distinguishes itself through absence.
Tradition of fort having been removed here. (SMR file, 27 June 1968)
