What is recorded here
No visible section break exists anywhere in the supplied source. The facts contain an ordinary Irish ringfort, not a hidden chamber or real fairy fortress. I will not invent that part or present fiction as local history.
In pasture, on NNE-facing slope. Roughly circular area (30m E-W; 26m N-S) defined by earthen bank (H 1.5m) NNE->NW; scarp elsewhere. Bank planted with deciduous trees. Entrance (Wth 3m) to E. Interior slopes down gently to N; raised on N side to compensate for hillslope; remains of circular hut site (diam. 10m) in N half; Man-made underground passage (CO069-057----) in NW quadrant.
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.
