What is recorded here

Fairy fort, Corcamore: a broken ring of earth and stone on a sunny slope, partly buried under field stones and memory. Inside the shallow bank, the ground still rises and falls like a breath held too long. People may have lived there before forgetting, or the fairies may have taken the shape back when the walls thinned. Either way, the circle remains visible in grass and shadow, waiting for someone to stop measuring and listen.

In pasture, on slight SSE-facing slope of rising ground, 200m W of the townland boundary with Carrigogunnel. Present remains consist of a raised roughly circular-shaped area (approx. diam. 30m) enclosed by a poorly preserved earth and stone bank (int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.8m; base Wth 4m). The enclosing element has been disturbed by the dumping of field clearance stones. The undulating rocky interior has also been partially infilled with field clearance material. A field boundary running N-S intersects the base of the bank at W. Poorly preserved monument visible on Google Earth orthoimage taken 2019 as a circular-shaped area enclosed by a low bank reduced to a scarp from SE through S to W, overgrown with trees elsewhere.
