Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Mogeely Lower

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Mogeely Lower holds a rounded earthen fort, local memory naming it a fairy fort rather than a human home. That boundary between invention and record keeps the place alive, because people still imagine life inside the ridge instead of reducing it to a dead marker.
