Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No. There is no fact that it is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort.
In tillage, on SW-facing slope, overlooking Blackwater river valley. Depicted as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) on 1842 OS 6-inch map. Levelled; arc formed by low rise visible to SW. Probably one of three levelled ringforts recorded by Bowman (1934, 676) on lands of John Linehan, Andrew O'Callaghan and Joseph McCarthy. 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
