What is recorded here

Cathaleenaludeen is a circular fairy fort in County Cork, Ireland. It holds a twenty-five-metre grassy ring enclosed by a one-metre earthen bank, with an entrance facing north-northeast. People may have lived inside this simple defensive circle before forgetting its name, while local tradition still assigns it to unseen residents.

In partially overgrown rough grazing land. Heavily overgrown circular area (diam. 25.4m) enclosed by earthen bank (H 1m). Entrance to NNE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
