What is recorded here

Indicated is a stone ringfort atop a Cork hill, its oval wall enclosing pasture and a hidden rock outcrop. The northwest gap admits wind, rain, and perhaps the fleeting beings local story still places there. People may have tended sheep inside or simply avoided the site after dark, yet the stones remain steady while belief swirls around them.

In pasture, atop hill. Roughly oval area (49m N-S; 42.7m E-W) enclosed by stone wall (H 1.7m); lower courses to N and ENE contain large slabs. Break in wall to NW (Wth 2m). Rock outcrop noted in 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
