What is recorded here
Maulyregan holds a broken earthen ring on a west-facing slope, marked by two gaps and a possible hidden passage. It is the kind of place where human hands built, forgot, and changed the meaning of the shape. The fairy name does not dismiss people; it records what happened when memory thinned.
In pasture, on W-facing slope. Circular area (27.5m N-S; 25.2m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (H 1.2m); external fosse (D 1.8m) SE->SSW. Break in bank to ESE (Wth 2m) and W (Wth 1.6m). Possible Man-made underground passage (CO134-090---) in interior.
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.
