What is recorded here

Indicated is a circular earthen ringfort in West Cork, holding a thirty-metre diameter within a two-metre-tall bank that still stands on a gentle east-facing slope. Grass and forgotten time have swallowed the ditch and interior, yet the shape remains clear enough to suggest human hands shaped the land before memory faded. The stones embedded in the bank hint at a place built to be seen, defended or lived in, while the surrounding pasture continues to erase the details.

In pasture, on gentle E-facing slope. Circular slightly raised area (diam. c. 30m) enclosed by earthen bank (H 2.2m), stone-faced in parts; silted-up external fosse. Bank and 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
