What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Dromdaniel, County Cork: a circular earthwork about 27m by 25m on an NE-facing slope, with a 1.34m scarp and low bank. People may have lived there, marked territory, or simply shaped the hill into a room; the stones and soil no longer answer which. What remains is a clear edge in pasture, large enough to walk inside and small enough to forget until dusk.

In pasture, on NE-facing slope. Circular area (27m N-S; 25m E-W) defined by scarp (H 1.34m) W->SE; low earthen bank SE-S. Interior raised on NE side to compensate for hill slope. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
