What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Corrabally stands as a broken earthen ring on a north-facing slope, its two gaps suggesting doors rather than damage. The possible underground passage hints that the fort was built for more than weather shelter, perhaps for storage, ritual, or flight when danger came. Its size is modest, but its shape is deliberate: a circle made by human hands, left incomplete enough to invite imagination.

In pasture, on N-facing slope. Circular area (27.5m N-S; 26.5m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (H 1.4m), with shallow external fosse. Break in bank to E and NW (Wth 3m). Possible Man-made underground passage (CO135-087002-) in interior. 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
