What is recorded here

Ardaneneen holds a broken stone ring where a farm lane still passes. The earth tilts across the valley, yet the inner ground rises to resist the slope. People may have lived there before memory, or the land may have shaped itself into a room for no one.

In rough grazing land, on break in N-facing slope. Circular area (30m N-S; 28m E-W) defined by earthen bank (H 1.4m) ENE->SSW; scarp (H 3.4m) on N side; overgrown field boundary elsewhere. Bank stone-faced internally. Break in field boundary to ENE (Wth 3m) and SSW (Wth 3m) joined by trackway crossing interior. Farm laneway skirts enclosure on SW side. Interior slopes gently down to N; raised on N side to compensate for hillslope. Ringforts (CO082-034----; CO082-035001-) to N on opposite side of valley. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
