What is recorded here

Indicated is a worn fairy fort in Mid Cork pasture, holding a rough circular space thirty-two metres wide beside a waterlogged ditch. Its earthen bank still faces the sky with scattered stone, while a narrow western gap invites entry past the modern fence. The nearby fulacht fiadh suggests people once boiled water or cooked food beside this ring, blending human labour and fairy legend in the same red soil.

In pasture. Roughly circular area (32.5m E-W; 27.7m N-S) enclosed by worn earthen bank, stone-faced in parts; shallow external fosse to N and E. Gap (Wth 2m) in bank to WNW. Fosse waterlogged to E; field fence to outside, respects line of enclosure. Fulacht fiadh (7710) lies to E. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
