What is recorded here

Indicated is a circular earthen ringfort atop a Cork hill, its two-metre bank enclosing a pasture where an east-west path still cuts across the north. The shallow ditch fades only at the southeast and northwest, as if the fort rejected full completion or waited for someone to return through those gaps. A person may have walked that path for decades, knowing the land by heart and never naming the hole in the fence.

In pasture, atop hill. Circular area (51.6m N-S; 50.8m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (H 2.1m); with shallow external fosse, except to SE and NW. Pathway running E-W crosses N half of interior. 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
