What is recorded here

Buckree's stone ringfort stands twenty-six metres across on a west-facing slope above the Blackwater River. A collapsed wall eight decimetres high marks the original boundary, while a later top wall adds another six. The name fairy fort suggests people once believed the circle belonged to something else entirely.

In pasture, on W-facing slope, overlooking Blackwater River. Circular area (26m N-S; 26m E-W) enclosed by collapsed stone wall (H 0.8m); topped by later wall (H 0.6m). 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
