What is recorded here
Fairy forts are not for us. They belong to the old ones, the hidden people, the ones who do not want to be seen. That is all. Clean it, protect it, leave it alone. If you must touch it, ask first. Not for show. Ask because they are still there.
In pasture, on gentle E-facing slope. Roughly circular area (30m N-S; 26m E-W) defined by earthen bank (int. H 1.2m) NE->SSE, incorporated into field fence system; low rise (H 0.3m) elsewhere.
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.
