What is recorded here
Farahy held a thirty-metre earthen ring on a gentle south-facing slope before ploughs and feet erased it. The 1842 survey captured its circular shadow, but the land has since forgotten the shape. It may have been a home, a boundary marker, or a child playground for the neighborhood. Now only the memory of a hole remains in the pasture.
In pasture, on gentle S-facing slope. Depicted as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on 1842 OS 6-inch map. Levelled; no visible surface trace.
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.
