What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Garraun North: earthen ring, 24 metres across, east-facing slope, entrance to the east-southeast. People called it fairy because the shape refused explanation, not because facts failed. A household may have stood there once, taking sunlight and weather, then disappeared into grass and legend.

In pasture, on E-facing slope. Circular area (24.3m E-W; 23.8m N-S) defined by earthen bank (int. H 1.9m; ext. H 3.7m); shallow external fosse. Entrance (Wth 3m) to ESE. Surrounding field boundaries removed. 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
