What is recorded here

Marianne and Cicely and others lived inside the fort, not outside it watching. The chamber was a small world with edges, a place where life could be seen whole instead of scattered. We want to hide from that clarity. The chamber is a trap for ordinary thinking because it shows ordinary thinking the shape of its own shadows.

In pasture, on N-facing slope. Circular area (c. 30m N-S; 23.7m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (H 1.8m) NNE->SSW with external fosse N->S; truncated SSW->WNW by field boundary running NW-SE; quarried into WNW->NNE. Low rise visible to W of field boundary traces line of levelled bank. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
