What is recorded here

No one can point to a single stone or ridge now, yet people still call it a fairy fort because the earth keeps its own counsel. It may have begun as a human home, a hunting camp or a boundary marker before memory faded. The mountain does not need praise; it waits for patience.

In pasture, on S-facing slope of Coolfree Mountain. According to local information, field called 'lios field'. No visible surface trace. Possible fulacht fiadh (CO009-01101-) in SW corner of field. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
