What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Tullig, County Cork: a circular earthen ring, forty metres across, with a causewayed northern entrance on a SE-facing pasture slope. People may have lived there, herded animals, or simply marked the hillside before written memory began. The bank still stands, the fosse still cuts, and the field around it has changed from household to pasture and back again. What is certain is shape; what is missing is the voice of the people who first walked the causeway at dawn.

In pasture, on SE-facing slope. Circular area (40.5m NE-SW; 39.7m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (H 1.35m), with external fosse (D 1.3m). Entrance (Wth 2m) to N, with causeway. 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
