What is recorded here

Fairy fort in An Cheapach Thoir, County Cork, Ireland. A circular earthwork about 28 metres across, mapped repeatedly before local people levelled it around 1976. It stood on a west-facing slope beside a farmyard, visible enough for surveyors but no longer marked on the ground.

Immediately to S of farmyard, on W-facing slope. Depicted as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 28m) on 1842, 1903 and 1940 OS 6-inch maps. Levelled c. 1976, according to local information; no visible surface trace. 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
