Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Tullyglass, County Cork: earthen bank arc NNE to SSE, external fosse to E, in pasture on a south-facing slope, part fence system today. A ringfort reduced to a boundary line, yet still drawing the eye. People may have lived, buried, or merely marked ownership there before forgetting the name. The earth remembers shape even when testimony disappears.
In pasture, on S-facing slope. Arc formed by earthen bank survives NNE->SSE, incorporated into field fence system; external fosse to E. 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
