What is recorded here
Indicated was a medium-sized circular fairy fort with four-to-five-foot fences on a south-facing Cork slope. O'Leary saw it in 1918, but farming levelled it around 1981. The earth swallowed the boundary, leaving no trace for later feet to find.
In tillage, on S-facing slope. O'Leary (1918, 123) describes 'medium sized, circular with fences 4' to 5' high'. Levelled c. 1981. No visible surface trace.
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.
