What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Cork, a circular pasture space forty-two metres across with a low earth and stone bank. Conifers now crowd the interior and rim, turning the ancient boundary into a green tunnel where human memory fades. The plants may be hiding a lived landscape, suggesting the fort still breathes beneath its leafy cage.

In pasture, on SW-facing slope. Circular area (diam. c. 42m) enclosed by low earth and stone bank (H 1m). Bank and interior planted with conifers. 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
