What is recorded here

Danish Fort appears on a 1774 map but has vanished from the grass, leaving behind a square phantom in County Cork. The land may still hide a moat beneath its pasture, waiting for rain or memory to reveal its edges.

In pasture, on a gentle SW-facing slope. A square enclosure named 'Danish Fort' is indicated on a 1774 map (no. 3) of the manors of Lismore, Lisfinny, Mogeely and Curraglass by B. Scalé (NLI MSS 7216-18). This possible moated site is not visible at ground level. Another possible moated site (CO036-061----) lies c. 300m to the N. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
