What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Cullenagh, County Cork, holds a circular space 26.5m wide on a ridge break, with an earthen bank and shallow fosse. People may have lived there before becoming pasture, while local stories call it a fairy fort. The earth still marks the shape even where a modern wall has replaced the old boundary.

In pasture, on break in N-facing slope of E-W ridge. Circular, raised area (26.5m N-S; 24m E-W) defined by modern stone wall N->SSE; earthen bank (int. H 1m) SSE->NNW; scarp (H 1m) NNW->NE; external fosse survives SSE->W (D 0.7m). Bank stone faced externally to S. 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
