What is recorded here

Knockbrack holds a thirty-one metre earthen ring on a south-facing slope, its bank reaching two metres high before disappearing into pasture and fence lines. The structure contains a man-made underground passage in the southeast quadrant, suggesting human occupation rather than fairy mischief. Animals graze above the buried chamber while the overgrown fosse marks the boundary between the ordinary field and the hidden depth below.

In pasture, on S-facing slope. Circular area (31m N-S) defined by earthen bank (H 2m) SE->SW with external fosse (D 1m); low rise elsewhere with slight external depression. Surviving bank SE->SW incorporated into field fence system; height of bank varies and may have had material dumped on its surface; fosse heavily overgrown. Interior slopes down to S; Man-made underground passage (CO042-06102-) in SE quadrant. 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
