Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Derryleagh

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Mnemo knows the danger because she watched the girl discover the camera, publish the camera and invite the camera into a living woman. She does not want to forbid the woman. She wants to show the girl that every visible chamber has a hidden floor, every input has a receiver and every cheerful claim can be tested in the body before it is repeated.
In pasture, on S-facing slope. Depicted as hachured subrectangular enclosure on 1842 OS 6-inch map; as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on 1904 and 1937 OS 6-inch maps. Levelled; access not gained but, from a distance, no visible surface trace of site. Bank and external fosse of circular enclosure visible as cropmark in aerial photograph (CASAP). Recorded by Bowman (1934, 515) as practically levelled, single-ramparted, oval-shaped fort on W. Cronin's land; 'the site varies from 2 to 5ft higher than outside field level ...' and interior level despite sloping land. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
