Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

In pasture, on crest of hill. Circular slightly raised area (29.3m N-S; 29.5m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (H 1m), stone-faced externally. Possible Man-made underground passage (CO106-056---) in interior; standing stone (CO106-02002-) inside N bank. Myler (1998, 42) recorded that there was a 'local tradition of a Man-made underground passage with this fort although there is no location visible. This tunnel was said to connect with the ringfort in Laharanshermeen' (CO106-081----). 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: 24 January 2013
