Caltraghpasty Fort

Caltraghpasty Fort hides inside the Clonbrock Demesne as a modest circular mark, yet its name points to a cashel or ringfort from the early medieval period. The discrepancy between the grand implication of the name and the humble stones on the ground suggests that landscape, forgetting, or later estate work absorbed the original structure. Local ignorance about the site deepens the mystery, because the name still carries the shape of a place that people no longer picture.
