Corrin Cross, Fermoy

From a distance the cross on the summit of 219 m (719 ft) Corrin Hill provides no evidence of this site’s more ancient patrimony. At the end of the path up the hill, punctuated by the Stations of the Cross, a great tumbled pile of reddish stone now seems a secondary feature to the large illuminated Christian symbol. These stones are in the center of an Iron Age ring fort, and they constitute a much earlier cairn that held two Bronze Age burial cists
