What is recorded here
Killaminoge held a fifty-metre earthen ring before ploughs erased it, yet the local field fence still bends around the invisible circle. People built that clean line deliberately, perhaps keeping a boundary for a home, a shrine or a forgotten neighbour. The soil forgot the wall but the fence remembered the shape, carrying the hidden fort through ordinary work.
In pasture. Shown on 1842 OS 6-inch map as circular enclosure (diam. c. 50m); W->E field fence curves to respect site. Levelled; no visible surface trace.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
