What is recorded here

Indicated is a circular earthen ringfort in County Cork, Ireland, where a steep bank still stands nearly four metres high around a pasture now choked with briars and ferns. The silted ditch and stone-faced edges suggest people once shaped the slope for defense or residence, while the concrete trackway cutting through the outer bank shows modern roads claiming ancient ground.

In pasture, on S-facing slope. Circular area (22m N-S; 22m E-W) enclosed by steep-sided earthen bank (max. ext. H 3.8m; max. int. H 1.9m); silted-up fosse SE->SW. Stone wall built atop bank to N. Bank stone faced internally to NW, N and ESE. Concrete trackway runs outside W bank cutting into outer bank face. Interior heavily overgrown with briars and ferns. 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
