What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Walshtown More (west) is a rough circular earthen ring, 35.5m across east-west and 32m north-south, with a 2.65m high outer bank and a northern entrance. It sits on a south-facing pasture slope, partly hidden by trees on the bank and apple trees inside. People may have lived there, marked it, or avoided it; the shape still keeps its own quiet claim on the land.

In pasture, on S-facing slope. Roughly circular, raised area (35.5m E-W; 32m N-S) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 1.4m; ext. H 2.65m), with berm on inner bank face. Bank planted with trees; entrance to N. Apple trees in interior. 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.
