What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Dromsullivan South is a circular earthwork atop a hill in County Cork, Ireland. It measures about twenty-six metres across and still stands with an earthen bank, shallow outer ditch, and stone-facing on part of the inside. Cattle may have grazed around it for centuries, unchanged from when people first shaped the land into a small defensible place.

In pasture, atop hill. Circular area (26.5m N-S; 26.1m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (H 1.75m); external fosse (D 0.45m). Bank stone-faced internally SW->N. Break in bank to SE and W. Myler (1998, 30) records 'a second outer bank on the SW with a height of 3ft.' 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: 24 January 2013
