What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Creagh More is a circular enclosure with a 1.8m earthen bank in County Cork pasture. People called it a fairy fort because the shape and setting still suggest hidden life. Humans may have gathered there before the name changed, but the land keeps both truths alive.

In pasture, on N-facing slope. Circular area encosed by earthen bank (H 1.8m) with modern stone facing. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.
