What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Cork, Ireland. It holds a circular grassy yard, a low earthen bank and two rough stone cairns. People may have lived there before becoming a legend, yet the cleared stones and broken ring still suggest a place set apart from ordinary pasture.

In pasture, atop E-W ridge. Roughly circular area (42m N-S; 46m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (H 1.6m), stone-faced in parts; external fosse (D 0.4m) ESE->SSW. Break in bank to NNE (Wth 3m), ESE (Wth 3m), and W (Wth 3m). Two cairns of field clearance stones dumped in centre of interior. 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
