What is recorded here

Death came swiftly from the north, perhaps men with bronze axes or women with fire. The chamber held no corpse, only a empty shape waiting for breath. The living fled south across the plain, carrying children and seeds while behind them the red sky swallowed the world. Those who ran far enough forgot the shape of the place that ended them, but they remembered warning others never to stop running.
Cropmark of fosse of circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m) visible in aerial photograph (CASAP, July 1989). Two linear cropmarks cross field on E-W axis to S of enclosure. Four ring-ditches (11911, 11912, 11913, 11914) c. 300m to NNE; circular enclosure (13530) c. 250m to NE and ringfort (12368) c. 300m to N. 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
