What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Garraun North: an oval earthen ring, 40.9m by 36m, with a 1.6m bank on three sides and a stone field boundary closing the north. It sits in pasture on an east-facing slope, grass-covered inside, with a shallow rectangular hollow outside to the north-northwest and a four-metre gap in the bank to the east-southeast. People may have lived there, herded there, or simply walked past it; the shape still holds like a remembered room.

In pasture, on E-facing slope. Oval-shaped area (40.9m N-S; 36m E-W) defined by earthen bank (H 1.6m) to E, S and W; stone-faced field boundary to N. Slight depression inside bank to W, N and E. Shallow rectangular depression (7m x 2m) outside bank to NNW. Break (Wth 4m) in bank to ESE. Interior grass-covered; slopes down gently to E. 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
