What is recorded here
Fairy fort in Lissanoohig: a 27-metre earthen ring on a south-facing Cork slope, now choked with pasture growth. It is the kind of place where human memory thins into story, yet the bank still holds its shape against rain and grass.
In pasture, on S-facing slope. Circular area (c. 27m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank. Interior and bank inaccessible due to overgrowth.
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.
