What is recorded here

Fairy forts are human places misnamed because people stopped remembering their own history. In Garraun South, a circular earthwork about twenty-five metres across stood on an east-facing slope until ploughs and development removed it. The 1842 map still draws its shadow, preserving what human hands forgot.

In pasture, on E-facing slope. Depicted as hachured, roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) on 1842 OS 6-inch map. Levelled; no visible surface trace. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
