What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Ballyclogh: 34m earthen ring, shallow bank, waterlogged ditch, pasture above. Not much left to argue with. What is lost is the life inside: light, breath, laughter, danger, love, loss, and the shape of choice. The field has kept the container. Memory may have left the container behind.

In pasture, on gentle E-facing slope. Circular area (34m NNE-SSW; 34m WNW-ESE) defined by earthen bank (int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.3m) SW->ENE, with external fosse (D 1.5m); low rise ENE->SW. Bank heavily overgrown. Fosse waterlogged N->NE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
