What is recorded here

Indicated is a forgotten fairy fort in West Cork, a shallow earthen ring half-swallowed by pasture and time. Its low bank circles thirty metres of hidden ground, neither fully buried nor clearly visible, as if the land keeps the shape but withholds the memory. People may have lived inside it, marked it, or avoided it. The grass has erased the answer, leaving only a round shadow on the slope where human life once turned the air.

In pasture, on NE-facing slope. Circular area (diam. c. 30m) enclosed by low earthen bank (H 1m). Bank and interior heavily overgrown. 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
