What is recorded here
Cullomane West once held an earthen ringfort on a northwest-facing slope, but human hands levelled the ridge until no trace remained above ground. Below the pasture, a man-made passage still waits in darkness, preserving what the surface forgot. The fort may have fed, hidden, or gathered people before it disappeared into grass and memory.
In pasture, on NW-facing slope. Levelled; no visible surface trace. Man-made underground passage (CO118-063002-) within enclosure.
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.
