What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Currabeckler, County Cork: an earthen ring on a south-facing break in the slope, overlooking Curraghalicky Lake. Its north-west half still stands inside a field fence: a low earthen bank, conifers on the inner face, a stone wall to the west, and a shallow outer ditch. People may have lived there, marked ownership, or kept animals; the lake below would have given water, food and a place to be seen.

In pasture, on break in S-facing slope, overlooking Curraghalicky Lake. NW half of enclosure survives in field fence system: low earthen bank (H 1.7m); conifers planted on inner face; topped by stone wall to W; shallow external fosse survives (D 0.2m). 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
