What is recorded here

Barnabrow held a thirty-metre circular enclosure on a south-facing slope before ploughing erased it. Two other rings still mark the land nearby, suggesting a small cluster rather than a lonely outpost. The fort likely gave people shelter, storage or identity during centuries when local power depended on visible boundaries. Its disappearance does not remove it from the story; it returns the place to imagination and memory.

In tillage, on S-facing slope. Shown on 1842 OS 6-inch map as circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m). Levelled; no visible surface trace. Two circular enclosures (CO077-028---; CO077-027---) c. 120m and c. 260m to NE, respectively. 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.
