What is recorded here

Fairy forts are not fairy forts. They are human forts, built and lived in by people. The fairy part is later story, not fact.

In pasture on W-facing slope. Shown as hachured bivallate enclosure on 1842 OS 6-inch map. Power (1923, 195) records bivallate fort here. Site has been levelled; now survives as oval platform (45m N-S; 62m E-W) defined by scarp (H 1.5m). Stream, rising outside S side, flows around site to W. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
