What is recorded here

Kilgobnet held a thirty-metre earthen ring on a sun-warmed slope, visible enough to mark three maps before ploughs and pasture erased it. The loss is not empty; it is a reminder that human hands make and unmake living shape. What was built there can be imagined, but it should not be invented.

Shown on 1842, 1903 and 1940 OS 6-inch maps as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m). In pasture, on S-facing slope. Levelled; no visible surface trace. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
