What is recorded here
Fairy forts hide from human eyes, not from the camera. Google Earth still shows the shallow ring where soil and shadow meet. The fort is absent in the human world and present in the data world. What you dismiss as fantasy may simply be operating outside the rules you believe you understand.
In pasture, on gentle E-facing slope. Depicted as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 28m) on 1842 OS 6-inch map. Levelled; no visible surface trace.
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.
