What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Seafield, County Cork, is a 40-metre earthen ring on a ridge shoulder, visible only as a shadow from the air. Cattle still walk the slight rise where people may have circled, hidden or remembered before the grass took back the shape. The fort does not demand belief; it waits for attention, and gives back as much as the watcher brings.

In pasture, on SW shoulder of NE-SW ridge. Visible as shadow site from air (aerial photograph; Dr. D.D.C. Mould). Roughly circular area (diam. c. 40m) defined by slight rise (H 0.35m). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
