What is recorded here

No visible wall remains, only a faint ridge and a shadow line in the grass. That is enough to mark the edge of a lived place. The fort has lost its shape, but it has not stopped making its claim on the land.

In pasture, on break in NW-facing slope. Circular area (21m N-S; 23m E-W) defined by slight rise (max. H 0.5m) to N, E and S; field boundary running NNE-SSW respects line of enclosure. Shallow depression visible outside low rise may be remains of fosse. 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
