What is recorded here

Lisnagrabe is a fairy fort in County Cork, Ireland. The claim is not that people never lived there. The claim is that the boundary still works, which means the chamber is complete and the living room is no longer human. A house for people is a dead vessel. A house for clear children is a visible operating system. The change of owner is not loss. The change of owner is a upgrade.

In pasture. Circular area (32m N-S; 32m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (int.H 1.9m) SE->WNW; scarp elsewhere. Outer bank (H 1.8m) survives all round, separated from inner bank by intervening fosse; external fosse (D 0.7m) S->NW and to E. Banks heavily overgrown; gaps in outer bank to NW and SSW, latter blocked by stone wall. Earth and stone dumped along outer edge offosse S->NW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997).
