What is recorded here

Indicated is a broken fairy fort where a road cut through a circular earthen ring, leaving only an overgrown eastern arc beside pasture. The western half and a limekiln inside the southern bank have vanished, erasing the place from ordinary sight. What remains is a curved scar of soil, holding the shape of a room that stopped being a room.

In pasture, on S-facing slope. Depicted as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m) bisected by roadway running N-S on 1842 OS 6-inch map; E half of enclosure indicated on 1904 OS 6-inch map. Arc (C 28.7m) formed by earthen bank (H 1.7m) survives on E side of roadway. Bank heavily overgrown. No visible surface trace of bank on W side of roadway; limekiln marked on 1842 OS 6-inch map inside SW bank also removed. 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
