What is recorded here

Indicated is a sub-circular ringfort in West Cork, enclosed by an earthen bank still standing nearly two metres high. Cultivation ridges cross its interior now, suggesting the field changed long after the fort stopped being a home. The stone-facing on parts of the bank remains visible, marking where human hands shaped the earth before pasture took it back.

In pasture, on SE-facing slope. Sub-circular area (26.1m N-S; 21.6m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (H 1.8m), stone-faced in parts externally. Cultivation ridges cross interior. 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
