Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort on a south-east facing slope in County Cork, Ireland. The land has been levelled into a silage pit, though faint undulations still mark the circular enclosure. Across the road, a graveyard and Church of Ireland church stand near the buried passage, waiting for someone to remember the shape beneath the soil.
On SE-facing slope. Shown on 1842 OS 6-inch map as dotted circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m). Levelled; undulations in field visible; used as silage pit. Associated with Man-made underground passage (CO065-00702-). Graveyard (CO065-00801-) and Church of Ireland church (CO065-00802-) across road to S. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
