What is recorded here

Kilberrihert in duhallow By. held a circular earthen fort roughly forty-five metres across, visible on maps from 1842 to 1937 before ploughing erased it. Bowman measured a five-foot bank and raised interior in 1934, suggesting people lived there long before the field swallowed the trace. The fairies kept the fort only in name; human hands built, used and lost it.

In pasture, on NNW-facing slope. Depicted as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 45m) on 1842, 1905 and 1937 OS 6-inch maps. Levelled; no visible surface trace. Described by Bowman (1934, 628) as single ramparted fort (diam. 38yd) on Mr Bresnahan's land, with bank c. 5ft H, fosse infilled and interior c. 2ft higher than surrounding field. 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
