What is recorded here

Enclosure in Sallypark is a roughly circular ditch, thirty metres across, marked only by crop shadows in a County Cork field. Its west entrance has overlapping terminals, a deliberate twist that suggests more than a random boundary. Other ringforts and circular enclosures scatter the surrounding land, hinting that this was one room in a larger occupied place.

Cropmark of fosse of roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) visible in aerial photograph (CASAP, July 1989); possible entrances to E and W (W entrance with overlapping terminals). Linear cropmarks, some at right angles to each other, in same field may be levelled field boundaries. Ringfort (12857) c. 200m to NNE; levelled ringfort and circular enclosures (12859,13654,13656,13657) in fields to W and S. 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
