What is recorded here

Killawillin held a thirty-five-metre earthen ring on a south-facing slope before ploughs and boots erased it. The 1842 survey captured the curve just as human patience forgot the shape. Fairy forts invite that forgetting, as if the earth reclaims what it lends.

In pasture, on S-facing slope. Depicted as hachured semi-circular arc (diam. c. 35m) with a broken line completing the circle on 1842 OS 6-inch map.Levelled; no visible surface trace. 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
