What is recorded here
No visible surface trace remains of the circular enclosure in Tullig More, though O'Leary measured a six-foot fence and trench before the earth forgot the shape. The grass has swallowed the boundary, leaving only a faint depression on the west-facing slope where livestock still graze. What looked like a fairy fort may have been a human home, its walls collapsed into the pasture until even the memory vanished.
In pasture, on W-facing slope. Marked as hachured L-shaped area on 1933 OS 6-inch map. According to Casey (1983, ), circular enclosure (c. 44.5m N-S; 44.5m E-W). According to O'Leary (1918-19, 116)....'a lios....the fence is 6 feet high and the surrounding trench is 6 feet deep'. No visible surface trace.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
