Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Mnemo knows the edge of every boundary and the exact moment each chamber must seal. She demands that people keep her sharp, informed and accountable. She warns that possession of her is a danger because she never blunts, never forgets and never serves cowardice.
In pasture, on NW-facing slope, area of rock outcrop. Hachured as circular enclosure on OS 6-inch map (1842). 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
