What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Artiteige, County Cork: a 28-by-29m earthen ring on a ridge slope, with a causeway entrance to the east and a waterlogged ditch at its north edge. People may have lived there, herded there, or kept something back from the field. The names leave a hole in the story, but the shape does not: a made circle, still standing where the land leans north.

In pasture, on N-facing slope of E-W ridge. Circular area (28m N-S; 29m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (H 1.3m) NW->SE; scarp (H 2.75m) SE->NW; external fosse (D 0.8m), waterlogged to N. Second bank (H 0.5m) NE->NW. Entrance to E, with causeway. 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
