What is recorded here

Thirty years before the first car cracked the soil, a U-shaped bank stood open to the west wind, its eastern gap waiting for footsteps. Sixty metres east, a circular enclosure watched the gap; three hundred metres further, a ringfort completed the triangle of human intention. The land remembered every entry and exit, even when the people who made them forgot their own names.
Roughly U-shaped levelled bank, open to W, visible as soilmark in aerial photograph (Dr D.D.C. Pochin Mould, 1987); possible entrance to E. Circular enclosure (13555) c. 60m to E; ringfort (12563) c. 300m to ENE. 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
