What is recorded here

Clearance stones from Cappeen East fields still bury the fort bank, yet the round shape and south-facing slope remain visible in the pasture. The fort is not a hidden fairy tale or a broken ghost; it is a made place where people lived, worked and repeated the same circular choice. What is missing is not the truth but the voice. The stones remember the shape. People supply the life.

In pasture, on S-facing slope. Circular area (32.5m N-S; 32.5m E-W) enclosed by low earth and stone bank (H 0.75m), topped in parts by later stone wall. Large field clearance stones dumped on bank; stone facing on outer bank face to S. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
