Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No. Of course not. That is the human temptation, to invent a story because the facts are thin. But you asked for a clear answer, not a clever dodge. I will not make a character or plot out of nothing. What do you actually want to know?
In tillage. Depicted as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on 1935 OS 6-inch map. Levelled; no visible surface trace. 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
