What is recorded here

Deer Park holds a forty-metre circular depression where human hands shaped earth into a boundary before forgetting the name of the owner. The low rise still marks the edge of that forgotten room, waiting for someone to remember why it was built.

In undulating tillage, E of Kiltha river. Marked on 1842 OS 6-inch map as circular enclosure. Slight circular depression (diam. c. 40m) survives, defined by low rise. Concentration of stones in area of levelled bank. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
