What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Killinane, County Cork: a 30m earthen ring on an east-facing slope, its bank partly swallowed by fence and pasture. A break faces north-northwest, as if the circle still expects entry. Sixteen metres west, another ringfort waits, doubling the place like a echo. People may have lived here, marked it, forgotten it; the earth kept the shape regardless.

In pasture, on E-facing slope. Circular area (30m E-W; 28.7m N-S) defined by earthen bank (int. H 0.9m; ext. H 1.03m) SW->N, incorporated into field fence system; grass-covered scarp (max. H 0.85m) survives elsewhere. Break in bank to NNW. Ringfort (CO015-035---) lies c. 160m to W. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
