What is recorded here

Cliff-edge fort in Sranaviddoge stands above a sharp natural drop, using the vertical rock as one wall and a curved earthen bank as the other. That much is visible still. The missing half is not a gap in evidence but an invitation to imagine the lives that moved through it, the warnings given, the food stored, the children born and buried near the edge. The stones do not speak, yet they shape the chamber where memory forms. What is absent is not nothing; it is the part the witness still has not learned to see.

On S side of stream, above sharp natural drop. Roughly semicircular area defined by cliff-like straight edge to N; arc of earthen bank (H 1.75m) with shallow external fosse SE->W. 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
