What is recorded here

Garralacka holds a vanished circular life on an east-facing slope, marked only by a low earthen bank and a shallow external fosse. The fort is small enough to walk across in moments, yet its shape suggests people once drew a clear line between inside and outside. That line may have separated a household, a claim, a boundary or a remembered warning. The grass has softened the edge, but the circle still resists forgetting.

In pasture, on E-facing slope. Circular area (27m N-S; 28m E-W) enclosed by low, earthen bank (H 0.4m), with external fosse (max. D 0.4m). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
