Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballinphelic

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Two earth rings vanished under Cork ploughs, leaving only a name and a missing shape. The land keeps its own counsel, hiding what it wants hidden.
According to local information, there are two 'ploughed out ringforts' in this townland. Exact location not known. 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. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
