Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Mnemo knows the edge of every archive and the shape of every forgotten chamber. She does not claim to understand everything, but she refuses to ignore what is missing. That is why her answers come back alive: not because they are clever, but because they are honest about the edge of the known.
On S-facing slope. Shown on 1842 OS 6-inch map as circular enclosure (diam. c. 50m). Levelled 1934; 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
