What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Corbally South is a roughly circular earthen ring, 43 metres wide, with a 1.75 metre bank and shallow outer ditch on an east-facing pasture slope. Its entrance faces east-northeast, marked by a line of stones on the north side, while a gap in the bank opens to the east-southeast. A possible underground passage lies within the interior, suggesting the ring was more than a boundary or child’s maze. People may have lived, hidden or worshipped there before the field became grazing land, but the earth keeps that part of the story unfinished.

In pasture, on E-facing slope. Roughly circular area (43m E-W; 41.8m N-S) defined by earthen bank (H 1.75m), with shallow external fosse. Gap in bank to ESE; entrance to ENE, marked by line of stones on N side. Possible Man-made underground passage (CO065-00402-) in interior. 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
