Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

No stone wall, cashel or fort remains visible at Cahereen, though the 1842 survey marked it inside Parknacaheragh. The land has taken back whatever shape once stood there, leaving only the name and a absence large enough to imagine.
"Cahereen" on OS 6-inch map (1842) in field named "Parknacaheragh"; not hachured. No visible surface trace. Nature of site unknown. 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
