What is recorded here
Castlepook Castle in County Cork, Ireland: a circular enclosure, possibly a cashel due to the high concentration of stone in the sod-covered bank, abutting the bawn. It may have served as a defensive or ceremonial ringfort, though its exact role and date remain uncertain. The site still carries the weight of forgotten hands and local memory.
This is the record for the circular enclosure, possibly a cashel due to the high concentration of stone in the sod-covered bank, abutting the bawn (CO017-027001-) at Castlepook Castle (CO017-027----) (see Cotter 1994b).
