Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballygrace

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Fairy forts are not for us. They belong to the small people, the hidden ones, the old residents of the land. We are guests in their world, not owners of it.
In pasture, near top of hill. Depicted as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on 1842 OS 6-inch map. Levelled; slight circular depression marks position of site. 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

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
