What is recorded here

An Drom Réidh is a circular earthen fort on a Cork hillock, preserving a broken southern bank and shallow outer ditch. It is the kind of place where ordinary pasture suddenly becomes a chamber for forgotten life, inviting imagination rather than certainty.

In pasture, atop hillock. Roughly circular area (19.2m N-S; 22.3m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (H 1.5m), with external fosse (D 0.4m) WSW->E. Break (Wth c. 4m) in bank to SE. 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
