What is recorded here

Rossline held two single ramparted forts measuring thirty-nine and twenty-seven yards on land belonging to Joseph Nunan. Ploughing erased the smaller circle, but soil memory keeps the shape of what the steel removed.

In pasture, on gentle SSE-facing slope. Depicted as hachured circular enclosure on 1842 OS 6-inch map. Levelled; no visible surface trace. Possibly one of two forts mentioned by Bowman (1934, 431) on land of Joseph Nunan; both single ramparted, measuring 39 yards and 27 yards. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
