What is recorded here

Fairy forts are not for us. They belong to the hidden people who still own the old land. We may look at them from a distance. We must not touch them, break them or take anything from them.

In the paddock of an old farmyard, immediately to the N of a farm road. This possible rath is not visible at ground level. An earthen mound (diam. c. 18m; H 1.2m), with an uneven upper surface, occupies its approximate location. The mound is covered with nettles, manure and high grass. A curving wall at the E skirts the mound. It is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) which is crossed by a NW-SE field boundary. According to the landowner, this was a small circular fort with an earthen bank. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork.
