What is recorded here
Cloghmacow, County Cork, Ireland. In the northwest quadrant of the ringfort, a narrow hollow cuts through the overgrown interior, measuring two metres long, fourteen across and one metre deep. A flat stone lies exposed inside the gap, perhaps a lintel for a door that no longer stands. The passage is small enough to force a person to bend, yet wide enough to carry breath, shadow and memory between the bank and the hidden heart of the fort.
In NW quadrant of ringfort (CO083-066001-). Interior of ringfort overgrown but hollow (L 2m; Wth 1.4m; D 1m) noted close to bank; stone (L 1.6m; Wth 0.7m; T 0.4m) exposed in hollow may be lintel.
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.
