What is recorded here

Indicated is a circular fairy fort in County Cork, Ireland, measuring twenty-one metres east-west and twenty-four metres north-south. A one-metre-high bank rises along the northwest edge while a shallow ditch cuts across the west, marking the boundary of this small enclosed world. The earthwork remains partially overgrown, suggesting the site has resisted full capture by modern measurement. Its precise shape and surviving stone facing hint that people once valued the clarity of its edges enough to build them.

Circular area (21m E-W; 24m N-S) defined by scarp E->S; bank (max. H 1.6m) SW->N; remains of external fosse (Wth 3m; D 0.85m) to W. Some stone facing on internal face of bank to W. Partially partially overgrown. 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
