What is recorded here

Ml. O'Sullivan's farmyard sits on the buried remains of a thirty-metre earthen ringfort. Men built stable walls above the ancient rampart, erasing the fort's shape while keeping its land alive. The fairy fort lost its visible circle but never stopped occupying the place where daily life continues.

In farmyard. Depicted as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on 1842 OS 6-inch map, skirted by field boundary SE->W, S portion hachured. Levelled; farm buildings built on site. Recorded by Bowman (1934, 193) as levelled, single-ramparted fort (diam. c. 32yd) on Ml. O'Sullivan's land. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000).
