What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Curraghcondon is a levelled rath in County Cork pasture, its low rise marking a rough circle thirty-five metres north-south and thirty-three east-west. The field fence still curves around the trace as if respecting what remains, guiding cattle past a boundary older than the fence itself. People may have lived, hidden or worshipped inside that shallow ring before ploughs and grass softened the edge into legend.

In pasture, on S-facing slope. Levelled; low rise defines roughly circular area (35m N-S; 33m E-W). Field fence curves as if to respect site. 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
