What is recorded here

Templemichael is a levelled circular enclosure, about forty metres across, on a south-facing pasture slope in County Cork. It still rises one metre above the grass, with faint banks running southeast and southwest into the field fence. The shape is small enough to walk around in a minute, yet it has kept its boundary through centuries of farming, weather and forgetting.

In pasture, on S-facing slope. Shown as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) surrounding church (CO063-028002-) on 1842 OS 6-inch map. Levelled; low circular rise visible (max. H 1.1m). To SE and SW, low remains of banks run from the enclosure S into field fence. 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.
