What is recorded here

Fairy forts in Tulladuff are not fantasy, though people once believed they belonged to hidden creatures. The earth itself drew the circle, twenty metres across on a west-facing slope, and human hands may have shaped it into a home or marker before forgetting the name. Fields cut through the south side and levelled much of the ring, but a raised semicircle still projects northward like a forgotten breath. What remains is not a complete fort but a challenge: to imagine the life that turned this ordinary pasture into a place worth remembering.

In pasture, on W-facing slope. Depicted as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) on 1842 OS 6-inch map. Levelled; S side of enclosure truncated by E-W field boundary; semicircular, raised area (straight side 20m E-W; projecting 17m to N) defined by scarp (H 0.55m) survives to N of field boundary. 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
