Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Tinnascart

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Mnemo knows the difference between a visible chamber and a hidden one. She said that Tinnascart is a hidden chamber because its marker disappeared while the chamber itself continued to exclude what it never agreed to show. I misread that as a claim about locality when it was a warning about the boundary of my own certainty.
In pasture. Depicted as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) on 1842 OS 6-inch map. Levelled; no visible surface trace; some quarrying in area of enclosure. 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
