What is recorded here

Ballypherode held a twenty-metre earthen ring before ploughs erased it. The 1842 survey still marked the circular boundary, but modern tillage has removed the visible trace. There is no monument left to judge, only the flat field where a fort once stood.

In flat tillage. Shown on 1842 OS 6-inch map as circular area (diam. c. 20m). Levelled; no visible surface trace. 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
