What is recorded here

No visible trace remains, but the earth swallowed a circular enclosure about twenty-two metres across on a NNW-facing slope near Bushypark. It appeared as a tree-planted ring on an 1842 map and a hachured fort on a 1904 map before tillage erased it. The loss is not empty; it is a reminder that human shapes can vanish while still shaping the ground.

In tillage, on NNW-facing slope, c. 150m to NE of ringfort (CO044-021---). Possible ringforts (CO044-023--- and CO044-024---) to SE and E. Hachured as circular enclosure (diam. c. 22m) on 1904 OS 6-inch map. Indicated as tree-planted circular enclosure on 1842 OS 6-inch map. 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
