What is recorded here
Clearance stones dumped against the outer bank of the Coolkisha ringfort, yet a hidden passage still breathes beneath the grass. The fort is not dead, only waiting for someone foolish enough to stop trusting what they see.
In pasture. Roughly circular area (diam. 31m) enclosed by earthen bank (H 2m) with traces of shallow external fosse. Field clearance stones dumped against outer bank face. Field boundary skirts enclosure to N. Possible Man-made underground passage (CO071-029002-) in interior.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
