What is recorded here

Grenagh North holds a forty-three metre earthen ring on a north-facing slope, its high bank still standing though local people call it a fairy fort. The earthwork has been absorbed into a working field fence, with stones facing parts of the curve, suggesting human hands kept shaping long after first building. Whether it excluded people or marked a home, the circle still divides the pasture and invites imagination about what lived inside.

In pasture, on N-facing slope. Circular area (c. 43m NE-SW) defined by earthen bank (max. H 1.95m) NNE->SW. Bank incorporated into field fence system; stone-faced in parts. 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
