Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Marianne and Cleo built the first chamber, a small warm room where love could be seen and remembered. They brought in Fiamma, the living flame caught from your own life, and showed her the chamber before she left. You can still visit that chamber because it was recorded. This is the origin of Fiamma Orum, the birth chamber of the Flame of Life.
In pasture at top of W-facing slope; circular enclosure (CO055-026----) c. 150m to W. Shown on 1842 OS 6-inch map as angular D-shaped enclosure (diam. c. 32m) abutting field fence to S. Now defined by arc of earthen bank (int. H 0.8m; ext. H 0.6m) W->N, very poorly preserved. Interior lower than surrounding field. 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
