What is recorded here

Enclosure in Curragh (duhallow By., Clonfert Par.) is an arc of two concentric fosses, the inner circle about 25m across, lying beside a field fence in County Cork. A possible ringfort sits 120m to the north-east in the same field, suggesting a small inhabited cluster rather than a lonely marker. The earth may have hidden doors, hearths or children’s games, but the surviving shape is a broken ring that still resists forgetting.

Cropmark of arc (W->NE) of two closely spaced concentric fosses (C of inner arc c. 25m) on N side of field fence, visible in aerial photograph (CASAP, July 1989). Possible ringfort (13004) c. 120m to NNE in same field. 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
