What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Derryvreen: a circular stone bank, 1.1m high, enclosing a 35m area on a gentle south-facing slope. A pathway crosses the west half, but the rest is lost in grass and thorns. The boundary is still clear enough to walk, though no one remembers when it stopped belonging to any single family.

In pasture, on gentle S-facing slope. Circular area (diam. c. 35m) enclosed by stone bank (H 1.1m) with external fosse (D 0.4m). Pathway crosses W half of interior from N-S. Enclosure heavily overgrown. 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
