What is recorded here

Magic and myth are entangled in this place. The fort is hidden beneath grass and memory, waiting for someone steady enough to see what others have forgotten.
In level pasture, on the break of a SW-facing slope. This possible rath is not visible at ground level. It is indicated as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on the 1846 OS 6-inch map. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011
