What is recorded here

Killaree holds a thirty-three metre earthen ring on a west-facing slope, marked by an inner bank, broken outer ridge and faint ditch. It is the kind of place where people once drew a line around their own lives, excluded rain and danger, and left the rest to myth. The fairy name does not dismiss that human act; it translates it.

In pasture, on WNW-facing slope. Circular area (33m N-S; 33m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 1.35m); intervening fosse and outer bank (H 0.6m) SSE->SSW and WSW->N; traces of outer fosse (max. D 0.4m). Break (Wth 8m) in outer bank to NW; gaps in inner bank to NW and SE (Wth 3.6m). 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. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
