What is recorded here

Lisnabunny is a broken fairy fort in County Cork, Ireland, where two overgrown earthen banks still draw an imperfect circle across the land. The inner ridge rises two metres in places but collapses into a low berm elsewhere, while gaps pierce both walls as if the earth forgot how to keep a secret. People may have lived inside the ring before the story changed, but the forges and chambers have vanished, leaving only a hollow shape that invites imagination rather than proof.

Roughly circular area (38.3m N-S; 40.7m E-W) enclosed by two heavily overgrown, earthen banks with intervening fosse. Inner bank N-S (int. H 2.05m), replaced by low narrow bank S->N (H 1m) with external berm (Wth 4m). Outer bank (H 0.9m); external fosse, (D. 0.8m) survive to E and S. Numerous gaps in both banks. 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
