What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Creagh Beg, County Cork: a 30-metre earthen ring on a south-facing pasture slope, with a two-metre bank, shallow outer ditch and inner counterbank. People may have lived there, fenced stock, or simply marked the hillside before written memory began. The stones are absent, the soil remains, and the shape still holds its circle against grass and rain.

In pasture, on S-facing slope. Circular area (30.6m N-S; 30.8m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (H 2m) SE->E; scarp elsewhere; external fosse (D 0.6m) SSE->N; counterscarp bank SSE->W (H 0.5m). 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
