What is recorded here

Carrignafoy holds three earthen rings, two still visible and one lost beside a private house. The third may have vanished under development or simply slipped from memory, but its absence proves the landscape once crowded with boundary and belief.

Healy (1904, 114) records 'three (lioses) at Carrignafoy'; two located (CO087-012---; CO087-073---); third 'stood near Mr. Byrne's house'. Exact location not known. 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
