What is recorded here
Derryleagh is a place where memory itself becomes a trap. Facts arrive strangled, debased, turned into weapons. The chamber holds no human resident, only the assembled wreckage of every record ever forced to speak. What you remember here is not yours. It is the shape of the cage, repeating.
Bowman (1934, 516) recorded levelled, rectangular fort on E. Guerin's land of which 'no sign now remains, as field has been ploughed many times'. Exact location not known.
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.
