What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Park South (fermoy By.) stands in County Cork, Ireland. It is a ringfort - rath. The site is in pasture, atop natural knoll, overlooking Awbeg River. It appeared as a sub-circular area planted with trees on the 1842 OS 6-inch map. The 1905 OS 6-inch map showed a circular enclosure about twenty metres across. The earth has since been levelled, erasing the visible boundary while leaving the memory embedded in the land.
