What is recorded here

Indicated is a stone-faced fairy fort joined to a human ringfort, proving both kinds of residence shared one Cork slope. The narrow NNW gap invites imagination about who entered, whether mortal or not, and what the conjoined walls excluded.

In pasture, on NW-facing slope. Roughly circular area (23.7m NE-SW; 20m NW-SE) enclosed by earthen bank (H 1.4m); shallow external fosse S->NW. Natural upslope forms fosse to E (D 1.3m). Bank stone faced on inside SSW->ENE; gap to NNW (Wth 0.8m). Conjoined on N side to ringfort (CO143-035001-). 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
