What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Maulrour, County Cork, is a 35-metre earthen ring with a 1.7-metre bank on a south-facing slope. The interior dips sharply at the south end where rock outcropping breaks the soil. A faint fosse remains on the east side. The shape suggests a lived boundary, not a decorative mound, though no named person or date is attached to it.

In pasture, on break in S-facing slope. Circular area (diam. 35m) enclosed by earthen bank (H 1.7m). Trace of fosse on E side. Interior dips sharply at S end where there is rock outcropping. 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
