What is recorded here

Killetragh held a thirty-metre earthen ring on a south-facing slope, visible enough for the 1842 survey but levelled before Bowman measured its vanished rampart in 1934. The fort disappeared beneath pasture and memory, leaving only a lime kiln and a gap where a wall once stood. It is the kind of place that swallows its own shape, as if the earth took back what people borrowed.

In pasture, on S-facing slope. Depicted as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on 1842 OS 6-inch map, with lime kiln on SE side. Levelled; no visible surface trace. Recorded by Bowman (1934, 332) as levelled single-ramparted fort (diam. c. 37yd) on Mrs. Singleton's land. 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
