What is recorded here

Mortals may have built it, but the fairies finished it. They took the angular rooms, melted the edges, and shaped the land into a breathing circle. The forts exist because human imagination is strong enough to touch the canvas and pull it into form.

In woodland known as Priest's Wood, on NNE-facing slope. Roughly circular area (36m E-W; 33m N-S) enclosed by two earthen banks with intervening fosse. Inner bank (int. H 0.4m) heavily eroded; entrance (Wth 3.1m) to N. Intervening fosse silted up, forming level area between both banks. Outer bank (H 0.4m) also quite worn down; entrance (Wth 4m) to N. 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. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
