What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Cork, Ireland. Its earthen bank still stands along one edge, now absorbed into a field fence, while the shallow ditch and faint circular depression mark the rest. The shape has survived because people kept using the land around it, not because they understood what it was.

In pasture, on gentle N-facing slope. Arc formed by earthen bank (H 1.4m) survives to SE, incorporated into field fence system, with shallow external fosse (D 0.45m); Interior defined as slight circular depression in field. 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
