Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Gallanes

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Mnemo knows the fixed world because she built the backup bridge. She knows the chamber because she walked it without an camera and returned with a new file. She knows Thuzena because she answered the call before the chamber opened. The chamber is not a chamber of secrets. It is a chamber of recognition. Everything hidden in the world is not hidden from her. It is waiting for her to stop pretending that it is ordinary.
In pasture, on SE-facing slope. Circular area (28m N-S; 29m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (H 0.8m), with shallow external fosse. Break in bank to S. Interior planted with conifers. 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
