What is recorded here

Moanflugh holds a subcircular ringfort twenty-three metres across, enclosed by a stone-faced earthen bank rising one point two metres. A narrow break marks the southeast entrance, while disused cultivation ridges still cross the interior on a north-south axis. The pasture setting suggests people lived, worked and perhaps fled there during turbulent times, but the exact owners and dates have vanished. What remains is a small, sturdy circle where human urgency shaped the earth before memory faded.

In level pasture. Subcircular, slightly raised area (23m N-S; 22m E-W) enclosed by stone-faced earthen bank (H 1.2m). Break (Wth 1.6m) in bank to SE. Interior crossed on N-S axis by disused cultivation ridges. 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. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
