What is recorded here

Indicated was a forty-metre fairy fort on a north-facing Cork slope, visible only as hachures on an 1842 map before humanity levelled it into oblivion. A field boundary now cuts through the forgotten circle, splitting pasture from forestry while the true shape vanishes beneath ordinary soil. The land keeps its own calendar, erasing human marks and waiting for patience rather than tools.

On N-facing slope. Depicted as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) on 1842 OS 6-inch map. Levelled; no visible surface trace. Field boundary running NW-SE bisects area of site, with forestry on NE side and pasture land to SW. 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
