What is recorded here

Jerome Pomeroy's land once held a fort now levelled. Whether it stood as a home, a refuge or a boundary marker remains unknown. The earth took back its shape, erasing the line between human effort and natural forgetting.

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
