What is recorded here

Fairy forts are not fantasy. They are human places misnamed because people stopped understanding them. Two ringforts still belong to Inchiquin even though their exact positions have been forgotten. Build a fence, dig a ditch, keep a door clear, and the fort returns to human memory.

Fitzgerald (1858, 23) refers to two ringforts (see CO067-043----) in this townland. Exact locations not known. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
