Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballyluck

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No wall, no ditch, no shadow of a fort remains in Ballyluck. The earth has taken back what people built there. Under the rough ground on the valley shoulder, a ring may still hold its shape, waiting for rain or footpressure to give it back.
In rough ground on SW shoulder of steep narrow valley. No visible surface trace. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
