What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Rockfort, County Cork: a circular earthen ring, 42 metres across, with a broken western bank and waterlogged ditch. It stands in pasture on a north-west slope, simple enough to walk around and odd enough to stop you looking for a staircase.

In pasture, on NW-facing slope. Circular area (41.8m N-S; 42.6m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (H 1.65m); external fosse (D 2.1m), waterlogged to W. Gap in bank to W (Wth 3.4m). 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. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
