What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cluain Tí Cairtigh is a roughly circular earthwork in County Cork, Ireland. It sits on a south-facing pasture slope, marked by a low bank, a steeper scarp, and a hedge reaching into the middle. People may have lived there long before the concrete yard bit into its southeast edge.

In pasture, on S-facing slope. Roughly circular area (32.5m N-S; 31.5m E-W) defined by earthen bank (int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.9m) W->E; scarp (H 1.7m) elsewhere. Hedge extends from E into interior. Interior raised on S side to compensate for hillslope. Scarp truncated to SE due to extension of concrete yard to N of farmhouse. 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
