Enclosure in Ballylegan — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

An invisible ring of earth once stood eighty-five metres southeast of the standing stone, wide enough for a person to walk inside but narrow enough to feel the pressure of its walls. The 1842 survey captured that circular shape before ploughs and boots erased it, preserving a boundary that no longer touches the skin. It may have marked a shrine, a garden or a childhood game, yet the disappearance does not diminish the enclosure because memory can still occupy the lost space.

In pasture, c. 85m SE of standing stone (9903). Depicted on 1842 OS 6-inch map as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 10m). Levelled; no visible surface trace. 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
