What is recorded here

Five earthen rings once circled Tibbotstown, but three vanished entirely, including an unusually large habitat for an enchanted hare. The remaining two still mark the ground, yet the lost structures suggest the landscape swallowed more than stone. Perhaps the hare danced until the earth forgot its own shape, leaving behind only a faint memory of boundaries.

Power (1918, 204) records 'five lioses' in the townland; location of two (CO064-092--- and CO064-093---) known; exact location of remaining three not known. According to Power 'one of the completely obliterated lioses was of unusually large size and was inhabited by an enchanted hare'. 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
