What is recorded here
Cooldurragha held a thirty-metre penannular enclosure facing south beside a ringfort, but ploughing erased the visible trace before modern cameras arrived. The missing earth may have hidden a doorway, a hearth, or a family line stretching back through centuries of Cork weather. What remains is a ghost shape in a working field, waiting for someone to imagine the hands that built it.
In tillage, on SE-facing slope. Depicted as hachured penannular raised area (open to S, diam. c. 30m) on 1937 OS 6-inch map. Levelled; no visible surface trace. Ringfort (12349) in same field c. 50m to SE.
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.
