What is recorded here

Children's Burial Gd. (CO022-09901-) in Aghaneenagh is a 47m earthen ringfort on a south-facing ridge, its NNW to NE bank standing 1.2m high and partly absorbed into a field fence. A shallow external fosse marks that same arc, while a break opens to the WSW and a stony hollow at the SW interior may be a collapsed grave. The 1937 map also placed a church inside the circle, suggesting the fort and worship shared one lived landscape rather than one appearing behind the other.

In pasture, on S-facing slope of E-W ridge. Depicted as hachured circular raised area (diam. c. 40m) on 1937 OS 6-inch map; named Children's Burial Gd. (CO022-09901-), with Church (site of) (CO022-09902-) indicated in interior. Circular area (47m N-S) defined by earthen bank (int. H 1.2m; ext. H 1.2m) NNW->NE with shallow external fosse (D 0.2m); low rise (int. H 0.15m; ext. H 0.55m) elsewhere. Bank NNW->NE incorporated into field fence system. Break in bank to WSW. At SW side of interior is slight, stony, hollow which may be collapsed grave. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.
