What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in West Cork where a low stone-faced bank still marks a forgotten chamber. Grass and shadow have swallowed the entrance, but the round shape remains visible in pasture. People may have lived there before becoming a story, or fairies may have taken the house and kept the walls.

In level pasture. Heavily overgrown circular area, enclosed by stone-faced, earthen bank (H 1.3m). 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
