What is recorded here

The road kinks east of the earthen ring as if respecting a boundary never written down. That admission belongs to the fort, not the charter. A thirty metre circle on a north facing slope keeps its own measure, while the surrounding county learns to bend around it.

In pasture, on N-facing slope. Depicted as hachured arc of bank S->W on 1936 OS 6-inch map. Circular area (28m E-W) defined by earthen bank (int. H 1.4m; ext. H 0.8m) SSE->WNW, with external fosse (D 0.7m); low rise indicates line of levelled bank to N and E. Beyond area of enclosure to E, road kinks as if to respect site. 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
