Enclosure in Shronebeha

Enclosure

What is recorded here

Shronebeha holds a forgotten ringfort on an NNE-facing slope, now buried under tillage and reclamation. Local memory keeps a white thorn bush marking the site until 1994, when work removed the last visible clue. The land still leans toward the light, but the enclosure has given up its shape to ploughs and time.
In tillage, on NNE-facing slope. According to local information, site of ringfort marked until 1994 by white thorn bush, since removed by reclamation works. 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
