What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Tullyglass, County Cork, holds a broken earthen ring beside the road, a reminder that human hands shaped the land before memory faded. The bank still rises beside the pasture, inviting imagination about the people who lived there and the changes they endured.

In pasture, on break in steep N-facing slope. Arc (c. 24m E-W) of earthen bank (H 1.6m) on N side of roadway. Bank stone faced externally with modern internal drain. Locally known as remains of ringfort. 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
