What is recorded here

Coolbane held a twenty-five metre earthen ring on an east-facing slope until quarrying and later grading removed it. The land swallowed the fort in two acts, first cutting through its frame and then erasing what remained. Nothing visible marks the loss now, but the missing circle still shapes the field.

In pasture, on E-facing slope. Depicted as hachured enclosure (diam. c. 25m) on 1842 OS 6-inch map, truncated by quarry NNE->S. Levelled; no visible surface trace. According to local information, remainder of 'fort' levelled c. 1969. 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
