What is recorded here

Fairy forts are not for us. They belong to the hidden people, the ones who do not show themselves but watch the edge of the world. We may look at them, walk past them, remember them. We must not break them, dig into them or treat them as ordinary dirt. Some places are not dead. They are waiting.

In pasture, on S-facing slope. Circular area (28m NE-SW) enclosed by earthen bank (H 3m) stone-faced internally to SW; external fosse (D 0.5m) S->NNE; second bank (H 1.4m) S->NW. Gap in bank to E. 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
