What is recorded here

Coneybeg holds a vanished ringfort, large enough for thirty paces across and visible only through a low ridge that still presses against the southern fence. The earth may have swallowed the bank, but it did not erase the shape. A circle is hard to invent when grass and stone keep repeating it.

In pasture, on S-facing slope. Shown as circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on 1842 OS 6-inch map. Levelled; low rise running into S field fence may indicate line of bank. 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
