What is recorded here

Carrigacrump is a levelled ringfort, a shallow circular scar thirty-six metres across on a north-facing slope in County Cork. It is a phantom house, the kind of place where human walls collapsed into grass and memory. What remains is a dimple in the land, large enough to swallow a garden but small enough to hide inside a field.

In pasture, on N-facing slope. Levelled; roughly circular depression (c. 36m N-S; c. 32m E-W) indicates position of enclosure. 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
