What is recorded here

No visible surface trace remains, but the buried passage still cuts through the southwest quadrant of the possible ringfort. It is the kind of place where human hands did ugly, useful work: removing soil, shaping dark space, and hiding the result from ordinary sight. The absence of a marker does not mean absence of making. It means the making refused to perform for strangers.
In SW quadrant of possible rimgfort (CO061-069001-). 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

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
