What is recorded here

Lissicorrane holds a thirty-six metre earthen ring on a northwest slope, marked by a broken bank and shallow fosse. People called it a fairy fort, perhaps because the empty circle still feels occupied by unseen life.

In pasture, on NW-facing slope. Circular area (36m N-S; 36m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (H 1.5m); external fosse (D 1.4m). Bank topped by stone wall to NE. Break in bank to N and SE. 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
