What is recorded here
Indicated is a lost fairy fort in County Cork, mapping a forty-metre circle before ploughs erased it entirely. It vanished between survey lines, leaving behind nothing but phantom boundaries and human arrogance. The land took back what it never intended to share.
In pasture. Depicted as circular area (diam. c. 30m) enclosed by broken line on 1937 OS 6-inch map; as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) on 1842 OS 6-inch map, but shown c. 10-20m further to NE. Levelled; no visible surface trace.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
