What is recorded here

Indicated is a circular fairy fort atop a Cork hill, its earthen bank rising one metre above pasture and dropping into a shallow western ditch. The stone-faced edge suggests human hands shaped the rim before forgetting the name, while the southern gap still invites entry. Cattle graze the interior now, reducing ancient boundary to grass and shadow.

In pasture, atop hill. Circular area (25.4m N-S; 25.4m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (H 1.1m); external fosse (D 0.4m) to NW. Bank stone faced externally, where laneway skirts site N->ESE. Gap in bank to SW (Wth 1.1m). 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
