What is recorded here

No. Enclosure in Knockilly is a circular enclosure about fifteen metres across on a west-facing slope in County Cork. It disappeared under pasture and human change, but the underground passage twenty yards west still belongs to the same place. The fort may have stood in Patrick O'Connor's land, rectangular and levelled, large enough to hold a household, a herd, or a secret.

In pasture, on W-facing slope. Depicted as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 15m) on 1842 OS 6-inch map. Levelled; no visible surface trace. Possibly fort described by Bowman (1934, 148) in 'Patrick O'Connor's land, levelled, rectangular, 13 yds. by 16 yds.' with Man-made underground passage (13406) 20 yards W of fort. 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
