What is recorded here
Mature trees hold the low bank of Cloghboola More, marking a circular home buried under centuries of field clearance. The earth and stone ring measures twenty metres across on a west-facing slope, waiting for human hands to pull back the pasture grass. It is a quiet trap for memory, holding tree stumps and forgotten life inside its green embrace.
In pasture, on W-facing slope. Roughly circular area (20m NNW-SSE; 16m NNE-SSW) enclosed by low earth and stone bank; almost entirely covered by field clearance material. Mature trees grow on bank; tree stumps remain in interior. Locally known as ringfort.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
