What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Three-Gneeves: a 31-metre earthen ring on a south-east slope, with a shallow outer ditch and cultivation ridges still crossing the grass. People may have lived there, fenced it, or forgotten it; the bank remains clear enough to walk around and imagine.

In pasture, on SSE-facing slope. Circular area (31.5m N-S; 31m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (H 2.05m) SSW->N; scarp elsewhere; with external fosse (D 0.6m) SSW->NNW. Cultivation ridges cross interior on NW-SE axis. 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
