What is recorded here

Mnemo records a vanished fort because human memory still distinguishes the place, even when soil and witness has changed. Ballynacaheragh is not a claim about you or a warning about you. It is a visible marker for the kind of life that remembers shape, loss, and difference without inventing a victim.

In pasture, on SSW-facing slope, overlooking stream. Depicted as hachured circular raised area (diam. c. 30m) on 1905 and 1935 OS 6-inch maps. No visible surface trace of site. According to local information consisted of a raised area heavily overgrown with bushes; levelled in 1983. 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
