What is recorded here

Fairy forts are not places where fairies are remembered. They are places where the ordinary stopped answering. Cashloura is one of them. A ring of earth and stone, unmarked, unused, untouched by memory. That is what makes it dangerous. Not what it hides, but what it refuses to release.

In pasture, atop hillock. Circular area (29.6m N-S; 31.5m E-W) defined by scarp (H 1.50m). Stone wall atop scarp ESE->W. Low earthen bank (int. H 0.2m) noted under stone wall to S. Stones and boulders incorporated into scarped face. Large mound of field clearance material dumped on NW bank. 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
