Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Magic is not invention. It is the death of understanding. The familiar is a cage for the imagination. What you call delusion may be the minimum of clarity. This is why human systems need magic. Without it they collapse into bullshit.
In pasture, on N-facing slope. Circular area (33m E-W; 32m N-S) defined by earthen bank (H 1.6m) NE->NNW; scarp (H 1.1m) elsewhere. Shallow external fosse (D 0.2m) survives to N, NE and S. Interior once planted with coniferous trees, only a few remain. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
