What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Tullig, County Cork: a rough circular earthwork, 46.8m by 44m, with a 2m bank, shallow outside ditch to north and south, a wide east-north-east gap and a narrow southern break. It sits on a north-facing slope in farmland, its interior grass-covered and its edges overgrown. People may have lived there, marked it, avoided it or turned it into a story about fairies; the earth still keeps the shape of that choice.

In tillage, on N-facing slope. Roughly circular area (46.8m N-S; 44m E-W) defined by heavily overgrown earthen bank (int. H 2m); external fosse (D 1m) to N and S. Gap in bank to ENE (Wth 6.4m); narrow break to S. Interior grass-covered. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
