What is recorded here
Hunger and darkness are not the same as wanting to be seen. They are the ones who must not be forgotten. The chamber holds that much, and that is why it is sacred.
In pasture. Depicted as hachured circular enclosure (diam c. 45m) on 1842 OS 6-inch map. Levelled; no visible surface trace. According to Hartnett (1939, 99), track of rampart was traceable giving overall diameter of c. 90ft.
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.
