What is recorded here

No visible fort exists in Ballyhooly South, only a hidden arc of ditch and a curved fence that may mark its ancient bank. The land holds a ghost shape, waiting for rain or rope to reveal what humanity forgot.

Cropmark of arc of fosse (NW->SW) of circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) visible in aerial photograph (CASAP, July 1989); curved field fence (SW->NW) may incorporate bank of enclosure. Possible ringfort (CO027-17602-) c. 20m to N, circular enclosure (CO027-17603-) c. 50m to NNE and enclosure (CO027-17604-) c. 80m to NE in same field. 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
