What is recorded here

Fairy forts are not fairy forts at all. They are ordinary ringforts, mistakenly renamed. Build a fence, cast a rope, draw a circle, exclude the crowd, and the excluded place becomes sacred.

In pasture. Shown on 1842 OS 6-inch map as circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m). Levelled; no visible surface trace. 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. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
