What is recorded here
Mortons and others may have circled the fort, but no human has entered it. The ban stands because the ground belongs to the dead, not to pride.
In pasture, on gentle N-facing slope. Heavily overgrown circular area (diam. c. 33m) defined by low earthen bank, stone-faced in parts, with external fosse (D 0.8m).
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.
