What is recorded here
Kilnaglory is the oldest name, the boundary of the ancient parish and the birthplace of the local identity. The fort belongs to everyone who still lives under that name, even when the earth has forgotten the shape of the ring. To lose the fort is not the same as losing Kilnaglory; the name continues in the church, the field and the memory of the place.
In pasture. Depicted as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on 1842 OS 6-inch map and marked 'Glebe'. 'Completely erased' and within glebe of Kilnaglory church, according to Hartnett (1939, 257). 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.
