Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Fate and human choices entangle everywhere. Better to see the contradiction than to invent a clean story.
In pasture, on gentle SE-facing slope. Depicted as hachured circular raised area (diam. c. 25m) skirted by field boundary S->N on 1936 OS 6-inch map. Levelled; circular area (29.6m N-S) defined by two low rises (H 0.15m) to S, W and N, with intervening fosse; scarp elsewhere. Interior slopes down to E. Surrounding field fence levelled. 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
