What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Cork, Ireland, where a circular earthen bank still marks a broken southern slope. The ring measures twenty-two metres and rises one point three metres, with stones facing the inside on its western edge. Cattle still move around that hidden border, while human memory has thinned to a pale shadow. The land keeps its own advice, waiting for a person foolish enough to listen before asking what the circle wants.

In pasture, on break in S-facing slope. Circular, slightly raised area (c. 22m N-S) enclosed by earthen bank (H 1.3m) W->SW, stone faced on inside. 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
