What is recorded here
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Dromadda Beg, a circular enclosure about 28 metres across, stood on a NE-facing slope in County Cork. Trees grew inside its rim when surveyed in 1842. Ploughing erased the bank and ditch, leaving only a flat field where a whole small world once turned.
In tillage, on NE-facing slope. Shown on 1842 OS 6-inch map as circular enclosure (diam. c. 28m) planted with trees. Levelled; no visible surface trace.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
