What is recorded here

Cooldurragha holds a broken earthen ring where cattle sheds now stand. The surviving north-west bank still rises one metre above the pasture, marking the edge of a home or stronghold built before human memory. The rest disappeared under tools and traffic, but the remaining arc refuses to be forgotten.

In pasture. Depicted as hachured oval enclosure (38m NW-SE; 30m NE-SW) on 1842, 1905 and 1937 OS 6-inch maps. Arc formed by earthen bank (int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1m) survives NW->SE. Bank levelled SE->NW with cattle sheds and enclosure built on site. 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
