What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Farranbrien East is a circular earthen ringfort, thirty-eight metres across, with a three-metre bank and shallow fosse. Its entrance faces east-northeast, its interior stays boggy, and farm machinery has worn parts of the bank thin. A man-made underground passage may still lie hidden inside, waiting for someone careful enough to listen before digging.

In pasture. Circular area (diam. 38m) enclosed by bank (max. ext. H 3m) and shallow fosse. Bank heavily denuded in places. Entrance to ENE. Interior boggy; damaged due to farm machinery. Possible Man-made underground passage (CO113-037---) in interior. 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.
