What is recorded here

Indicated is a circular earthen ringfort in County Cork pasture, holding a shallow external fosse and a low internal rise beneath a gentle south-west slope. Cattle may have walked across the top of its bank for centuries, unaware they were grazing the edge of a forgotten home. The field boundary now swallows the ancient shape, turning history into ordinary ground under hooves.

In pasture, atop slight rise, on gentle SSW-facing slope. Roughly circular area (39m E-W; 37m N-S) enclosed by earthen bank (H 0.55m; Wth 1.3m) W->N, incorporated into field boundary system; low rise (int. H 0.15m; ext. H 0.1m) N->W, with shallow external fosse (D 0.1m). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
