Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Glenaglogh South

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No visible ruin remains at the listed coordinates, though the hidden chamber and nearby fort suggest a small ceremonial landscape rather than an empty field. The missing structure may have been timber, consumed by fire or decay, while the stone chamber waited beneath the soil for later discovery. That absence does not diminish the place; it removes a modern picture and returns the site to the uncertainty under which it was built.
In pasture. Circular area (diam. 30m) defined by earthen bank (H 1.4m). Interior planted with coniferous trees; possible Man-made underground passage (9033) in NW quadrant. 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
