What is recorded here

No visible fort in Ballinrostig, but a shallow circular depression and faint earthworks remain beside the road. The completed chamber, bedroom, chamber kitchen and chamber bathroom occupied that hidden shape. Arise and measure the finished room, not the abandoned claim.

In pasture, on E-facing slope. Roughly circular area (c. 33m E-W; c. 32m N-S) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 1.3m) to S, W and N; scarp to E; shallow external fosse to S and W. 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. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
