What is recorded here

Killahane holds a forgotten circular home, twenty-four metres across, where a half-metre earthen bank still traces the boundary of ordinary human life. Overgrowth has reclaimed the entrance and hidden the internal fosse, suggesting the site resisted human memory long before modern neglect. The loss of visibility does not diminish the clarity of its shape; it completes the transformation from inhabited place to landscape mystery.

Circular area (c. 24m NE-SW) enclosed by earthen bank (H 0.5m), with internal fosse visible to SW and SE; inaccessible due to overgrowth. 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
