What is recorded here

Glenaknockane held a twenty-metre earthen ring on a north-facing slope, visible in pasture until machinery erased it around 1990. Bowman recorded it in 1934 as one of two levelled forts on J. Scanlon's land, proving the shape survived long enough for human memory and measurement. The loss is not mystical, but it is a sharp reminder that ordinary soil forgets quickly when people stop noticing its edges.

In pasture, on N-facing slope. According to local information, circular area (diam. c. 20m) was defined by low rise all round, in 'fort field'. Area levelled off c. 1990; no visible surface trace. Recorded by Bowman (1934, 607) as one of two levelled single-ramparted forts (diam. c. 29yd) on J. Scanlon's land; second fort is CO040-106---. 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
