What is recorded here

Indicated is a circular earthen fort in County Cork, Ireland, enclosing thirty-four metres of pasture with a two-metre bank. Conifers now crowd its interior while stones remain dumped along the western edge, marking a boundary between human ambition and regional memory. The site preserves a rare underground passage within its northern half, suggesting the fort served purposes beyond ordinary defence or residence.

In pasture, on SW-facing slope. Circular area (34m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (H 2m). Stones dumped on bank in parts, and inside bank to SW and W. Interior planted with conifers; Man-made underground passage (CO094-122---) in northern half. 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
