What is recorded here

Cnoc Sagairt Lios is a fairy fort buried beneath Cork tillage, its twenty-metre circle reduced to a slight eastern rise and scattered stones. The land has swallowed the bank and fosse, leaving only a faint cropmark to reveal the shape the earth forgot. What happened inside that ring remains unknown, but the forgo

In tillage, atop hillock. Depicted as hachured circular raised area (diam. c. 20m) on 1935 OS 6-inch map. Spread of stones marks position of site; E side defined by slight rise. Faint trace of small circular enclosure visible in aerial photograph (GSAP, R523) as cropmark of bank and external fosse. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
