What is recorded here

Indicated is a circular stone ringfort in County Cork, Ireland, where a metre-high scarp and wall enclose coniferous trees. The NE quadrant may hide a man-made underground passage, suggesting the fort was more than a boundary marker. People may have lived, hidden or worshipped inside that green circle before the land became rough grazing.

In rough grazing land. Circular area (diam. 44m) defined by scarp (H 1m), topped by stone wall.
