What is recorded here

No. Of waria is an earthen ringfort in Ballyandrew, County Cork, Ireland. It is a circular enclosure about twenty metres across on a gentle west-facing slope. The 1842 Ordnance Survey map still shows its hachured lines, although barley now grows where the fort stood. People nearby still call it the fairy fort, keeping the old name alive in ordinary speech.

Levelled; mature crop of barley in field; known locally as site of fort. Circular enclosure (CO025-150---) c. 30m to NE.
