What is recorded here

Indicated is a circular earthen ringfort atop a hillock in County Cork, enclosing thirty-five metres of reclaimed pasture with a two-metre bank and shallow southern ditch. Its interior remains heavily overgrown, hiding whatever human hands shaped or abandoned the space. The site preserves a forgotten boundary between farm and myth, where ordinary grass still covers the footprint of a lost dwelling.

In reclaimed pasture, atop hillock. Circular, slightly raised area (diam. c. 35m) enclosed by earthen bank (H 2m); external fosse (D 0.9m) S->N. Interior heavily overgrown. 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
