What is recorded here

Indicated is a thirty-eight-metre earthen ringfort on a south-facing Cork slope, its low bank still catching the light where pasture grass presses against ancient soil. The eastern edge has become a field fence, while the southern bank lies levelled into a shallow spread of earth outside its own line. People may have lived, herded or hidden there before the land was divided, but the circle remains clear enough to walk and remember.

In pasture, on S-facing slope. Circular area (38m N-S; 38m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (H 0.8m) SW->ESE. Bank incorporated into field fence system to E. Levelled bank to S visible as spread of material outside line of bank. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
