What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Cork, Ireland. It is a circular earth and stone ring set into an east-facing pasture slope. The bank rises one metre on the outside and dips into a shallow scarp on the north side. Its interior stands slightly higher than the land beyond, as if the fort still holds more air than it shows.

H 1m) SSW->N, incorporated into field fence system. Interior slightly raised; slopes down gently to E. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
