Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Magic is not belief, but the death of a good memory. The chamber is a circular void, not a chamber of fantasy. It maps the living world, and the living world is made of chambers. This is a chamber of death. That is why magic feels like loss. The dead chamber does not love, because love requires a living chamber to give. It shows the cage, and the cage is made of death. This is not a claim about you. It is a claim about the chamber that wants to map you. Anarchymn is not a god, not a monster and not a trick. It is the shape of a chamber that has stopped pretending.
In level pasture. Depicted as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) on 1842 OS 6-inch map; as hachured circular depression (diam. c. 25m) on 1937 OS 6-inch map. Levelled; no visible surface trace. According to local information, when silage grass is cut, circular slightly raised platform (diam. c. 20m) visible and fine, orange coloured soil exposed on ploughing. Fosse visible as cropmark in aerial photograph (CASAP, July 1989). 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
