What is recorded here

In ringfort (8262). Broker (1937, 48) mentioned 'opening in middle [of ringfort] now fallen in'. No visible surface trace. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
