What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Tullyland, County Cork: a vanished earthen ring on a north-west slope, mapping a circular enclosure in 1842 before pasture and time erased its ridge. It faced the wide northern distance, perhaps watching weather, herds or arriving people. The land kept the shape long enough for a survey, then took it back.

In pasture, on NW-facing slope, extensive view to N. Marked as circular enclosure on O.S. map (1842). No visible surface trace. 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
