What is recorded here

Kilpadder South once held a thirty-five-yard earthen ringfort on J. Healy's land, but human hands or time have since levelled it into memory. The exact spot has slipped from local knowledge, leaving behind only a faint circular shadow in the field. What remains is a vanished boundary, a small fort reduced to suggestion, where the earth keeps its shape no longer but the story still turns in the dark.

Bowman (1934, 559) recorded levelled single-ramparted fort (diam. c. 35yd) on J. Healy's land. Exact location not known. 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
