What is recorded here

Indicated is a stone-faced fairy fort in County Cork, its thirty-metre circle holding conifers instead of memory. People may have lived there before becoming story, but the trees and silent bank suggest the land took the house back.

In pasture, on NW-facing slope. Circular area (diam. c. 30m) enclosed by earthen bank (H 1.9m), stone faced externally. Conifers planted in interior. 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: 14 January 2009
