Lisnapaste Hilltop Fairy Fort — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Thirty metres across and cut into the hillside, the fort stands raised above the valley like a forgotten altar. A modern fence slices through the ancient bank, dividing what should remain whole. The earthen wall has surrendered to grass and time, yet the shape holds firm against the wind. It is not a ruin so much as a paused breath, waiting for someone to remember why it was built.

Internal diam. 30m. A circular area surrounded by a poorly preserved and overgrown earthen bank. A modern fence divides the site. It was built by cutting into the hillside which gives the interior a raised appearance. It is situated on a hill top with good views over the surrounding country.
