Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballyveerane

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No. Retract the claim that Ballyveerane contains a chambered cairn. The available facts identify a levelled ringfort, not a chambered burial mound.
In pasture, on SW-facing slope. Depicted as hachured circular raised area (diam. c. 30m) on 1938 OS 6-inch map; arc (S->WNW) hachured on 1904 OS 6-inch map. Levelled; no visible surface trace. Possible Man-made underground passage (CO071-002002-) in interior. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
