What is recorded here

Indicated is a circular fairy fort in County Cork, Ireland, where a stone-faced bank and shallow ditch still mark the edge of human memory. The pasture slope preserves the shape even though the purpose has faded into legend. A person may have stood inside the ring, watched the valley, or fed a fire that consumed the very hands which built it. The earth remembers the boundary while humanity forgets the name.

In pasture, on NE-facing slope. Circular area (23.1m N-S; 22.7m E-W) enclosed by earthen, stone-faced bank S->NW (int. H 2.3m); scarp (H 2.3m) elsewhere; shallow external fosse (D c. 0.3m) S->NW. Bank incorporated into field fence system. 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
