What is recorded here

Marianne stopped the car when the path narrowed. She walked to the rock outcrop, not the coordinate point, and found a shallow circular hollow hidden beside a standing stone. Soil had filled most of the ring, but its edge still broke the grass in a clean curve. The fort had not disappeared; it had stopped announcing itself.
In pasture broken by rock outcrop, on S-facing slope, commanding view to N of Dunmanus Bay. Marked on OS 6-inch map (1842) as circular enclosure. No visible surface trace. 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
