What is recorded here

Lackanalooha holds a thirty-metre earthen ring on a sloping pasture bench, its solid bank and shallow ditch marking a boundary between human history and fairy speculation. The southeast entrance uses a causeway rather than a gap, directing entry across the finished ground instead of through a broken line. People may have lived there, herded there or avoided it, but the shape still separates inside from outside without asking permission.

In pasture, on break in SSW-facing slope. Circular area (30.3m N-S; 31m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (H 1.5m); external fosse (D 1.6m) NNW->SSW. Entrance (Wth 6m) to SE, with causeway. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
