What is recorded here

Fairy forts are earthen rings, not fantasy. This one stands in Corran North pasture, a 35-metre circle with a 1.4-metre bank and shallow outside ditch. Its narrow north-west gap may have been an entrance, a collapse, or a choice made by the people who built it.

In pasture, atop hill. Circular area (34m N-S; 35m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (H 1.4m), with external fosse (D 0.5m) NW->E. Break (Wth 2.4m) in bank to NW. 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
