What is recorded here

Half acre of earth in Con Kelliher's land, Tooreenbane, still marked as a fort in the old inventory. Whether it sheltered people or belongs to fairy story, the ring remains a boundary the ordinary world forgets.

According to Broker (1937, 50), in Con Kelliher's land, is 'fort, 1/2 acre'. Exact location not known. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
