What is recorded here

Moneynacroha holds a twenty-metre earthen ring on a south-facing slope, its shallow ditch still visible through the tillage. The fort has watched the fields for centuries, perhaps hosting humans before surrendering its edges to the soil and story. Its simplicity resists explanation, yet the steady circle suggests a place set apart for life, ritual or memory.

In tillage, on S-facing slope. Circular, slightly raised area (20.6m N-S; 20.8m E-W); evidence for external fosse survives as shallow depression to NW and E. 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
