What is recorded here
Ring East in County Cork holds a buried life beneath ordinary pasture. Local tradition still points to grave markers and grave-like features across the rough slope, while an L-shaped foundation once stood visible at the southeast edge. The land keeps its dead close enough to be remembered, even when grass and weather have taken most of the proof.

The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
