What is recorded here

No fairy fort in Anaharlick. That is a misnamed human ringfort: a circular rath, thirty by thirty-two metres, walled in earth and stone on a south-facing slope. People built it, lived in it, and left it to pasture. The fairy label is a story told later, not a fact about who built it.

In pasture, on gentle S-facing slope. Circular area (30m N-S; 32m E-W) enclosed by low earth and stone bank (H 0.7m), topped by stone wall (H 0.8m). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
