Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Moyra AND Fortmill

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Fortmill and Moyra hide a forgotten ringfort beneath reclaimed pasture. Earth and stone once formed a low bank around a narrow oval, but grass and time have erased the entrance and edge. The fort is gone except in measurement and memory.
On a gentle N-facing slope in reclaimed pasture. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a raised subcircular area (c. 22m N-S; c. 19m E-W) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone with a shallow external fosse. The original entrance was not recognisable. The monument is not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
