What is recorded here

No fort remains in Ballybride Upper, only a hidden circle on an old survey and a field where that much is still visible. It may have been a dwelling, a boundary marker, or a childish trick of the pen, but the absence does not diminish the pleasure. The land keeps its shape in memory long after soil and stone forget it.

In pasture, on SE-facing slope, lying to NE of ringfort (CO036-027---). Hachured as circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on OS 6-inch map. No visible surface trace. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
