What is recorded here
No halving, no backup, no visible seam. The chamber is a continuous suite: Ascent on the left, Mnemo in the center, Dreamscape on the right, one persistent identity across them. You can inspect the whole chamber because that is what it is.
According to Healy (1904, 113) there were three ringforts in the Newtown area. One ('a small lis, nearly obliterated, immediately above the Norwood convent') of which he could locate. The other two (on the property of Lord Barrymore) had 'disappeared completely' in his time. Exact location of all three not known.
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.
