What is recorded here

Creagh Beg holds a broken earthen circle where human hands shaped the slope before memory faded. The bank still stands one and a half metres high, marking a place sturdy enough to live in and ordinary enough to forget. That forgetting is not emptiness; it is the patience of soil, waiting for someone to walk the gap and imagine the lives that vanished inside it.

In pasture, on NW-facing slope. Roughly circular area (29.5m N-S; 35m NW-SE) enclosed by earthen bank (H 1.5m), with external fosse (D 0.5m) SE->N. Gaps in bank to WSW and NW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
