What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballycurreen (barrymore By.) stands in County Cork, Ireland. It is one of two ringforts in that townland. The exact location is no longer known, though it once sat on O'Connells farm before ploughs erased its shape. What remained was a hollow in the ground and a warning not to build there.

One of two ringforts in this townland which, according to Power (1918, 192) were on 'O'Connells farm' and 'levelled of recent years'. 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).
