What is recorded here

Aghamilla holds a twenty-eight-metre earthen ring on a NW-facing slope, its bank reaching 1.6 metres before merging into modern field fences. The scarp and silted fosse suggest a defended home rather than a fairy illusion, yet local names often disguise human history in wonder. cattle may have grazed the same pasture for centuries, unaware they trod the edge of a lost neighbourhood.

In pasture, on NW-facing slope. Circular area (28m NE-SW; 28m E-W) defined by earthen bank (H 1.6m) ESE->SSW, incorporated into field fence system; scarp (max. H 1.25m) SSW->ESE. Silted-up fosse visible outside scarp. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
