What is recorded here

Durah holds a forgotten chamber where human fire and fairy witness still share one boundary. The ringfort measures forty-two metres across, with a solid earthen bank and a narrow entrance pointing southeast. It is not a decorative ruin but a living address, old enough to remember the shape of courage and young enough to be seen.

In pasture, on level ground. Circular area (42.8m N-S; 42.5m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (H 1.5m); external fosse (D 1.1m) NNE->SE. Entrance to SSE. 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. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
