Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Dromsicane

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Half an acre of earth and shadow in a Cork wood. The fort has no marker and no road, only a name that sounds like a trick. What is hidden is not forgotten. It is waiting to be found by someone who stops listening for permission.
According to Broker (1937, 52) 'Fort, 1/2 acre. In wood'. Exact location not known. 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

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
