What is recorded here

Mortons and Siskins occupy Cloonleagh South, where a broken earthen bank still surrounds a circular pasture. The fort measures thirty-five metres across, holds a shallow internal ridge, and keeps a narrow eastern gap beside its western breach. Human hands may have shaped that ring before fairy legends claimed it, yet grass and forgetting have since erased the purpose.

In pasture. Circular, heavily overgrown area (diam. c. 35m) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.5m) with external fosse (D 0.6m). Break in bank to W; narrow gap to NE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
