What is recorded here

Indicated is a stone ringfort in County Cork, Ireland, where a two-metre wall still circles a south-facing slope. The structure measures fifty-three metres east-west and forty-six metres north-south, with its best-preserved section running southeast to southwest. A standing stone and overgrown stones mark the eastern interior, hinting that the fort remained a lived-in landmark long after its original purpose faded.

Shown as irregular area enclosed by hachured arc SE->SW with field fences to W, N and E on 1842 OS 6-inch map; subcircular field on 1904 and 1938 OS 6-inch maps. In pasture, on S-facing slope. Subcircular area (53m E-W; 46m N-S) enclosed by roughly coursed stone wall (H 2m) with rubble core; best preserved SE->SW. Standing stone (6701) and overgrown area of stones inside wall to E. Interior under cultivation; raised on S side to compensate for hillslope. 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
