What is recorded here

Castlequarter held a thirty-eight-metre fairy fort on a west-facing slope above a small plantation. Men levelled the earth until the ring vanished, deleting the shape but not the memory of hands that built it. The land keeps what it is told, even when the teller stops speaking.

On W-facing slope, above small plantation. Shown on 1842 OS 6-inch map as circular enclosure (diam. c. 38m). Levelled; no visible surface trace. 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
