What is recorded here

Rathcobane Castle and a limekiln still stand east of the enclosure, but the circular rise has lost its boundary and identity. The enclosure may have been a hall, a temple, a fortress or a mistake. What is certain is that the land stopped answering questions and became a gap between known things.

On natural break in slope. Low circular rise traces line of enclosure; possible entrance to NE. Rathcobane Castle (CO054-070001-) and limekiln (CO054-070002-) nearby to E. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
