What is recorded here

Indicated is a broken stone ring on a Cork hillside, its twenty-four-metre arc still standing beside a roadway after centuries of pasture and rain. The fort has lost half its shape, yet the remaining bank marks a place where people once drew a circle around their lives. That much of the ring survives is not nothing.

In pasture, on SW-facing slope. Arc WSW->ENE (diam. 24m) formed by earth and stone bank (H 1.1m) to N of roadway. 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
