Croaghateeaun Fairy Fort
   
         
Croaghateeaun Fairy Fort (acrylic on canvas) €160
Viewed from the green track this fort rises up a couple of miles away between Ballinalacken and the coast road. In the early 1900s, the historian TJ Westropp wrote: "On reaching the top, where we were told to cross ourselves as a protection against the power of the ‘Dannans’ (whose chief stronghold it was)...The older people are firmly convinced that this is a most dangerous ‘fairy fort'"
