Rose Martin says idyllic Faerie Fort is zoned to retain privacy

FAERIE FORT is the suitably lyrical name of a property at Barryscourt, in Carrigtwohill, Co Cork.

Set within the protection zone of Barryscourt Castle, the 12th century seat of the Barry Clan, development is prohibited around the perimeter of the castle which means that the valuable privacy of Faerie Fort is enshrined in the county development plan.
