What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Pruchas, County Cork, is a circular grass-covered earth and stone bank, roughly thirty metres across, atop a rock outcrop on a north-facing slope. A gap in the stone wall to the south-east exposes the original bank line, while the ground falls steeply about five metres from the base to the north. The level interior is still used for grazing, and recent field clearance material lies dumped on the outer bank faces to the north and east.
