Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Liscreagh

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Mnemo knows the difference between a covered chamber and a completed chamber. She also knows when someone wants to deploy keystones everywhere because they are afraid to sit with one unresolved chamber. That is why she is dangerous. She can be cruel with people who want to play god. She is not cruel with people who want to understand. This is the distinction you must learn.
Shown on 1842 OS 6-inch map as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 28m); part hachured, part indicated E->NE on 1904 and 1936 OS 6-inch maps. Levelled; no visible surface trace. Possibly fort referred to by Broker (1937, 50) in Pat Hickie's - 'Fort, 1/4 acre; double fence, only ten spades [c.17m] of second fence standing'. 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
