Moated site in Bregoge

Moated site

What is recorded here

Bregoge held two moated forts, but arrogance or hunger levelled one while the other waited. The victim lost its ridge and identity, leaving only a narrow ditch that men filled in 1983. Disturbed ground still marks the place where forgetfulness began.
In pasture, on gentle NW-facing slope. According to local information, 'fort' existed here similar to 'fort' (moated site - 14192) in same field c. 100m to NW; levelled some time ago apart from fosse (36.5m N-S), immediately to W of field boundary. Fosse infilled in 1983 but still traceable as disturbed ground; no visible surface trace of rest of site which, according to local information, extended to W of fosse. 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
