What is recorded here

No visible wall or gate remains, only a shallow dip and a slight rise in the pasture. That absence is the shape of the fort now: a circle the land still remembers but no longer displays.

In pasture, on N-facing slope. Depicted on 1842 OS 6-inch map as circular enclosure. Slightly raised area (37.5m N-S) now defined S->N by fragment of overgrown earthen bank (H 0.4m); fosse SW->N (D 0.6m). Line of bank to E indicated by slight undulation. Man-made underground passage (CO054-00703-) extends inwards from N section of bank. Fosse at W cuts through fulacht fiadh (CO054-136---); second fulacht fiadh (CO054-135---) lies c. 8m from fosse at SW and third fulacht fiadh (CO054-137---) lies c. 15m SW of ringfort. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
