What is recorded here

Indicated was a thirty-metre fairy fort on a north-facing slope above Moanroe bog, visible on maps until a farm building swallowed part of its circle. It vanished beneath soil and timber, yet an underground passage still cuts through the earth fifty metres south. The fort may have traded visibility for depth, hiding its life beneath the yard where people still walk.

In farmyard, on gentle N-facing slope, commanding view to NW over Moanroe bog with rolling countryside beyond. Depicted as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on 1842 OS 6-inch map; as small subcircular field on 1905 and 1937 OS 6-inch map. Levelled; no visible surface trace; farm building built on a portion of it. Man-made underground passage (CO016-13602-) lies c. 50m to S. 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
