What is recorded here

Doneraile demesne holds a forty-two metre circular scar on a west-facing slope, marked by a low earth bank and shallow ditch. Conifers now crowd the enclosure, hiding most of the ancient line except a clear gap to the southwest. The shape suggests humans lived or marked boundary there before trees claimed the field, yet no name or date remains attached to the trouble they caused or the life they led.

Within Doneraile demesne, below crest of hill, on W-facing slope. Roughly circular area (42m N-S) enclosed by scarp (H 0.8m), with slight internal lip to SW; external fosse (D 0.15m). OPW (14.10.1977) noted modern drain cutting off fosse to E . Enclosure planted with mature conifers except to SW. 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
