What is recorded here

Indicated is a partially buried fairy fort on a north-facing Cork slope, its thirty-five-metre circle reduced to a low earthen arc beside a laneway. Conifers crowd the outside ditch while stone-facing mimics ordinary field fences, hiding the ring’s true shape beneath farm practicality. The land may still remember the boundary even when human memory has forgotten it.

In tillage, on N-facing slope. Depicted on 1943 OS 6-inch map as partially levelled circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m). Arc S->W formed by earthen bank (H 1.2m) on SW side of laneway. Slight rise visible in area of enclosure on NE side of laneway. Bank stone-faced internally similar to surrounding field fences. Coniferous trees planted immediately outside bank in area of fosse. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
