What is recorded here

Indicated is a ruined stone ringfort in West Cork pasture, its low wall and boulder-faced scarp marking a circular home or refuge beside the Leamawaddra River. The missing northern and eastern wall may have vanished under grass, water or forgetting, while the surviving stones still describe a place where people stood, watched or kept what mattered.

In pasture, on gentle WSW-facing slope, E of Leamawaddra River. Circular area (20.5m N-S; 19.7m E-W) enclosed by low, ruined stone wall (H 0.3m) W->S; scarp (H 1.5m) S->W, faced with large boulders. Original line of wall not clearly visible to NE and SE. Entrance to NNW (Wth 1.6m). Deciduous trees line edge of interior; raised on SW side to compensate for hill slope. 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
