What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Cork, a thirty-metre circular pasture marked by a low earthen bank. It sits on a NW-facing slope where farmyard manure once filled the centre and heavy machinery cut the ancient surface. The place still holds the shape of human hands, even if memory has forgotten the names of those who lived inside its ring.

In pasture, on NW-facing slope. Circular area (diam. c. 30m) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 1.4m) SW->SE. Farm yard manure stored in interior; interior surface cut up due to heavy machinery. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
