What is recorded here

No. There is no fact that it is a fort, let alone a fairy fort. The claim is complete, but completion requires clarity, not the invention of a separate hidden story.

In pasture, on break in N-facing slope, on lower northern slope of Claragh mountain. Circular area (diam. c. 30m) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 2m; ext. H 1m); external fosse (D 0.3m) survives to W. Cattle gaps in bank to NNE and NE; third gap to SSE where field fence joins bank. Interior raised on N side (H 1.8m) and cut into hillside on S side to compensate for hillslope. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
