What is recorded here

Mutton grass and blackthorn hold the last shape of the fort. A man may have lived there, watched the valley and left nothing but a shallow arc of earth. The fairies took the rest. They prefer places where human pride has already thinned to nothing. What remains is a bowl wide enough for doubt, and sharp enough to remember.

In pasture, on E-facing slope. Roughly circular area (diam. c. 25.9m) defined by arc of earthen bank (H 0.75m); undulations NE->SE; rough growth of briars probably on line of levelled bank SE->NW. 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
