What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Cork, an earthen arc rising 1.4m through pasture on a south-facing slope. Its bank has grown so thick with vegetation that it now serves as a field fence, blending human boundary and ancient shape into one living line. Locals still call it a fort, preserving the idea that strength and memory can hide inside ordinary grass.

In pasture, on S-facing slope. Arc (S->NNW) formed by heavily overgrown earthen bank (max. H 1.4m); incorporated into field fence system. Locally known as fort. 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. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
