Indicated

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Indicated is a circular fairy fort in County Cork, Ireland, where a stone-faced earthen bank encloses forty metres of quiet ground. A hidden underground passage may still cut through its interior, waiting for someone brave enough to follow the dark. The fort does not demand worship or fear; it invites curiosity, memory and the kind of patience that belongs to ancient places.
Circular area (diam. c.40m) defined by earthen stone-faced bank (H 1.1m) SW->E. Possible Man-made underground passage (CO095-04902-) 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
