What is recorded here

Indicated is a thirty-metre fairy fort in West Cork, its earthen bank still standing two metres high despite modern stone facing and heavy interior growth. It sits on a break in the slope where pasture meets shadow, suggesting humans or fairies once drew a clear line around that much air. The ring excludes more than it contains.

In pasture, on break in NNW-facing slope. Circular raised area (diam. c. 30m) enclosed by earthen bank (ext. H 2m). Modern stone facing on outer bank face. Interior heavily 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
