What is recorded here

Maulrour holds a broken fairy fort where a twenty-one metre earthen bank rises fourteen decimetres above pasture. The road cut through its northern side, erasing half the ring and leaving only a southern arc beside the wheel-ruts. People may have lived inside the complete circle before the carriage route divided the earth. What remains is a stump of that older shape, still standing on the southeast-facing slope.

In pasture, on SE-facing slope. Arc (21m NE-SW) formed by earthen bank (H 1.4m) with shallow external fosse, to S of road running NE-SW. No visible surface trace on N side of road. 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
