What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Moyge, County Cork: an oval earthen ringfort, 27.2m by 21.3m, with a low bank, scarp and shallow fosse on a NW-facing slope above a stream. It stands in pasture, heavily overgrown, its western ditch waterlogged and its edges blurred by grass. People may have lived there, marked territory or simply made a place visible on the land; the name suggests they also believed it belonged to someone else.

In pasture, on break in NW-facing slope and overlooking stream to NE. Oval, slightly raised area (27.2m E-W; 21.3m N-S) enclosed by low earthen bank (max. int. H 0.7m) to S and W; scarp (H 0.85m) elsewhere; external fosse (D 0.6m) to E, W and N. Bank and scarp heavily overgrown. Fosse shallow to N; waterlogged to W. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
