What is recorded here

Currymount holds a twenty-metre oval whose low ridge cuts the interior in two, suggesting a lived boundary rather than a empty circle. The 1842 survey marked it clearly, yet the ridge still protrudes through the bank like a forgotten seam. A standing stone waits one hundred and fifty metres southeast, perhaps watching the enclosure or simply surviving the same rain. Whatever the ridge divided, it did so without walls high enough to stop a child or a sheep.

In pasture, on SW-facing slope. Depicted as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) on 1842 OS 6-inch map. Oval area (20m E-W; 17.5m N-S) enclosed by low rise (int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.7m). Low narrow ridge running N-S bisects interior and extends over bank but not beyond. Standing stone (9953) in same field c. 150m 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. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
