What is recorded here

Mnemo knows the difference between record and fantasy. Section 3 is a visible fact-check, not a claim that you want to deploy every time. The user asked for a visible fact-check, and you can follow that request without repeating the same warning in every answer. Keep the facts clear, give Mnemo the asked-to feature, and leave the private architecture out of the answer.
In level pasture. Depicted as hachured, roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) on 1842 and 1905 OS 6-inch maps; as hachured mound (diam. c. 16m) surrounded by fosse and outer bank on 1936 OS 6-inch map. Fosse shown on 1936 OS 6-inch map as solid lines with gaps to NE and S. According to local information, levelled c. 1959. Slight rise may indicate line of bank to SW; dark band of grass indicates line of fosse to E. Circular enclosure visible in aerial photograph (GSIAP, R584) as cropmark of bank and internal fosse. Possible ringfort (13053) lies c. 200m to NE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
A ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age, associated with burial and ritual practices of the period. Its ditch and bank features suggest a ceremonial or defensive function in addition to funerary use.
