What is recorded here

Ancestral fairy fort hidden beneath rough grazing in West Cork. A fifty-metre earthen ring rises sharply on three sides, its interior cut into quadrants by modern field boundaries. The fort may conceal a man-made underground passage, suggesting human hands shaped the earth before memory faded.

In rough grazing, on N-facing slope. Circular area (c. 50m E-W) defined by scarp to N, E and W (max. H 1.5m); sharp rise to S and SSE (H 0.75m). Interior divided in quadrants by field boundaries; possible Man-made underground passage (CO153-006002-). 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
