What is recorded here

Indicated is a circular fairy fort in County Cork pasture, holding a narrow underground passage beside a sheer stream bank. People may have lived inside the earthen ring before forgetting the name, while the hidden tunnel still waits for someone bold enough to crawl through darkness.

In pasture, on SW-facing slope. Circular area (29.3m N-S; 29.5m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (H 1m) NW->SSW; sheer stream bank SSW->NW, stone faced in parts. Man-made underground passage (CO122-005002-) in NE quadrant. 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
