What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Ballyrobin South is a broken earthen ring on a west-facing slope, still holding its shape inside pasture. People may have lived there before memory faded, or the land may have simply marked a boundary for unseen company. Either way, the bank and ditch remain clear enough to walk around, and the causeway still points east as if waiting for someone to return.

In pasture, on W-facing slope. Circular area (27m E-W; 26m N-S) enclosed by earthen bank (H 0.45m); external fosse (D 0.75m) N->SSE; silted-up fosse elsewhere. Entrance with causeway to E (Wth 3m). 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
