What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Ballinoroher, County Cork: an oval earthen ringfort, 48.3m by 42m, with a 1.6m bank on a south-facing pasture slope. Part of the bank has been levelled from the north-east toward the south, and deciduous trees grow inside the ancient boundary. The shape still holds, though soil, grass and time have softened its edges.

In pasture, on S-facing slope. Oval area (48.3m N-S; 42m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (H 1.6m); bank partially levelled NE->S. Interior planted with deciduous trees. 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
