What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Poularick is a 27-metre circular earthwork atop a low hillock in County Cork, Ireland, with a stone-faced entrance to the east. Its shallow southern depression may be a lost fosse, while field clearance stones now clutter the bank and interior. Another ringfort watches from a hill to the north, suggesting a small landscape where people lived, marked boundaries and left behind a shape still visible through soil and memory.

In tillage, atop low hillock. Circular area (27m N-S; 27m E-W) defined by earthen bank (H 0.7m). Shallow depression to S between bank and E-W field fence may be remains of external fosse; elsewhere field ploughed up to base of bank. Stone-faced entrance to E. Field clearance stones dumped on bank and in interior. Ringfort (CO083-104----) in view atop hill to N. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.
