Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Glenbane East

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Glenbane East lost its fairy fort when people levelled the ring, erasing the only visible marker of the land's older memory. The scrubland keeps the shape internally even though the soil no longer shows it. Forgetting the fort does not empty the place; it stops the place from answering questions.
In poorly drained scrubland. Monument, depicted as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) on 1841 OS 6-inch map, has been levelled. No trace of monument evident when inspected. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
