What is recorded here

An Gráig holds a broken fairy fort where cattle now graze. The southern bank still curves across the slope, measuring twenty-two metres, but the rest has vanished into reclaimed pasture. What remained was a circle of earth, likely drawn around a home or a warning, yet human hands have erased most of its shape. The field keeps the memory even when the stone and soil no longer do.

The circular univallate enclosure marked on the 1st edition of the OS map has been almost completely destroyed. The S half of the enclosing bank is still faintly discernible and measures c. 22m in diameter. The site is located in reclaimed pastureland on a N facing slope. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 702. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013
