What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Ballinaspig More is a shallow earthen ring, thirty-six metres across, beside a stream in County Cork. People may have lived there before fields and roads cut through the earth. The fairies took it back, as they do most ordinary places once humans stop paying attention.

In pasture, on W side of stream. Roughly circular area (36m N-S; 32m E-W) enclosed by low rise SE->NE, with shallow external fosse; natural sharp fall to stream NE->SE. Fosse truncated by field boundary on N side. Interior saucer-shaped; slopes gently down to E. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
