Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Innygraga

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Innygraga stands beside ringfort CO076-05402- on a south-facing slope in County Cork, Ireland. Its twenty-eight-metre circular bank rises two metres externally and opens through a two-metre western gap, while the level interior has surrendered to grass and forgetting. People may have gathered there before records, but the earth keeps that part of the story to itself.
In tillage, on S-facing slope beside ringfort (CO076-05402-). Circular, slightly raised area (diam. 28m) enclosed by overgrown earthen bank (int. H. 1.55m; ext. H 2.2m). Break in bank (Wth 2m) to SW; possible entrance (Wth 3.2m) to S. Interior level and overgrown. 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
