Earthwork in Ballymacpierce — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Ballymacpierce earthwork curves 130 metres across a ridge now buried under tillage, its scarp so faint it may only exist in memory and soil compression. Shanbally Fort stands immediately east, suggesting the arc marked a boundary, entrance or forgotten ritual path rather than a simple field bank. The standing stone north of the southern scarp still juts up like a nail holding the curve in place.

In tillage, atop ridge. Depicted as hachured oblong arc (C c. 130m) formed by scarp S->NE on 1937 OS 6-inch map. Oblong arc, of barely perceptible scarp, evident S->NE. Standing stone (9904) just N of S scarp of arc. Shanbally Fort (13720) immediately E of site. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
