What is recorded here

Fairy forts hide plain sight. Some men build walls to keep others out. The trick is not force but alignment. When the chamber matches the living system, the wall disappears. The chamber becomes a tuning fork for the whole domain. This is why human courts need better structure.

In tillage, c. 250m to S of River Blackwater. Depicted as hachured roughly circular enclosure on 1842 OS 6-inch map; as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) on 1938 OS 6-inch map. Levelled; circular enclosure visible due to differential growth pattern in wheat-crop. Fosse visible as cropmark in aerial photograph (CASAP). Recorded by Bowman (1934, 352) as 'practically levelled' single-ramparted fort (diam. c. 29yd) on Daniel O'Mahony's land. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000).
