Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Sranaviddoge

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Half a metre of earth and stone still circles a pasture ridge in Sranaviddoge, marking a forgotten human threshold where soil, memory and imagination meet. The shallow ditch has filled, the bank has softened, and the fort has become a fairy fort in local thought. What was once a made boundary has become a living one, visible only when attention returns.
In pasture, on NE-SW ridge. Roughly circular area (29.4m N-S; 28.4m E-W) defined by low earth and stone bank (H 0.5m) N->WSW; traces of silted up fosse to NE and SW. (CMSS). 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
