What is recorded here

Kilnadur is a circular earthen ringfort, not a fairy fort. It stands on a SW-facing slope in County Cork, Ireland. The bank rises 1.1m and encloses a 25m diameter area. Gaps appear at the north and south. The interior cuts into the hillside on the north side. The south side rises to compensate for the slope. A shallow external fosse marks the SE edge. A field fence runs along the NW. The structure remains visible in pasture today.
