What is recorded here
No one knows where the fort stood because men kept ploughing it until it vanished. That is not loss, it is transformation. The earth drank the wall and gave back grain. What you forget, the field remembers in a different shape.
Recorded by Bowman (1934, 157) as levelled fort in J. Murphy's, 'no sign now, as field has been tilled many times'. 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.
