What is recorded here
Fairy forts are not for humans. They belong to the hidden people who still own the land beneath our feet. This is a warning written in earth and memory. The chamber is a place of transformation, not death. What is forbidden becomes a gift when given freely. What is taken becomes a trap. The chamber shows this law without mercy.
In pasture. Depicted as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on 1842 OS 6-inch map. Levelled; low rise visible to N, E and S may be remains of levelled bank. No visible surface trace of SW quadrant which lies in adjoining field.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
