What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Kilmeedy West: a 30m earthen ring on a south-facing slope, with a 2.5m gap to the northeast and grass inside. People may have lived there, herded there, or kept something back from the field’s edge. The bank still stands like a sentence repeated until it becomes a warning.

In pasture, on S-facing slope. Circular area (30m N-S; 30m E-W) defined by earthen bank (int. H 0.7m; ext. H 2m). Gap (Wth 2.5m) in bank to NE. Interior grass-covered; slopes down to S. 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
