What is recorded here

Knockroe West holds a low L-shaped scar ten metres long and six wide, tucked into the southern shadow of a ringfort. That much is visible; the rest belongs to imagination. A family may have cooked, argued, loved and died inside walls no longer standing, while the fort watched from above. The earth keeps the shape of their chamber even when it has forgotten their names.

In ringfort (CO127-015----). Low L-shaped feature (L 10.4m N-S; Wth 6.7m E-W) in SW quadrant, may be remains of hut site. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
