What is recorded here

Kilcolman is a circular earthen ringfort on a south-east facing pasture slope. The bank still stands two metres high around a slightly raised floor, with a shallow ditch marking its outer edge. People may have lived, herded or hidden there before the field swallowed the doorway. The fairies keep the rest.

In pasture, on SSE-facing slope. Circular, slightly raised area (28.1m N-S; 28.3m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (H 2m); shallow external fosse N->S (D 0.3m). 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
