What is recorded here

Curryglass fort vanished beneath the plough around 1976, erasing a thirty-five-metre ring that had guarded the southwest slope since before human memory. The land still carries the name Fort Field, preserving the shape of what the soil forgot. Fate often favours the flexible, for adaptability turns adversity into opportunity while rigidity breaks under pressure.

In pasture, on SW-facing slope. Depicted as hachured enclosure (diam. c. 35m) on 1842 and 1905 OS 6-inch maps; as hachured arc indicating bank SSW->NW on 1936 OS 6-inch map. Levelled; no visible surface trace. According to local information, field called fort field and surviving arc of bank to SW levelled c. 1976. 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
