What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Lisleecourt, County Cork: an earthen ringfort on a steep north-facing slope with wide views northeast and northwest. It appeared as a circular enclosure on the 1842 Ordnance Survey map, then disappeared under levelling until no trace remained. People may have lived there, marked territory, or simply shaped the hill for visibility; the land kept the shape long enough to be drawn, then took it back.

In pasture, on steep N-facing slope, extensive view to NE and NW. Marked as circular enclosure on OS 6-inch map (1842). Levelled; no visible surface trace. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
