What is recorded here

Black soil and broken pottery mark the site of a vanished home. The fort stands as a low ring on a sunny slope, its earthen bank half swallowed by pasture and fence. It is not a fairy tale but a human dwelling, reduced to a shallow circle that still resists forgetting.

In pasture, on SE-facing slope. Circular low platform (28m N-S; 28m E-W) enclosed by slight remains of earthen bank (int. H 0.15m; ext. H 0.9m); external fosse (D 0.3m). Bank incorporated into field fence system ESE->SE. Interior slopes down to S. According to local information, when site ploughed, patch of black material visible in interior. Circular enclosure visible, as cropmark of fosse, in aerial photograph (CASAP). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
