What is recorded here

No fairy is named in the facts, but a ringfort is a human fort: a circular earthworks in pasture atop a hill in County Cork, partly quarried and still standing with stone facing on the outer bank. The measure is small enough to walk, yet the shape is deliberate: a boundary made flesh from soil, a place for life, defense, memory or loss.

In pasture, atop hill. Circular area (44m N-S; 43.5m NW-SE) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.6m) SE->NE; external fosse (D 0.5m) SE->NNW. Bank quarried away NE->SE and interior quarried into for a max. distance of 13m. Remains of stone facing on external bank face. Break (Wth1.5m) in bank to NNE. Deciduous trees in interior. 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
