What is recorded here

Derreennalomane holds a broken circular scar forty-six metres wide where an earthen bank once rose seventy centimetres above the pasture. The surviving southern arc still marks the boundary of a place people shaped before the land forgot its purpose. You can walk the slope and measure the patience required to build a home that resistance and time would eventually erase.

In pasture, on E-facing slope. Originally circular area (diam. 46m N-S) enclosing earthen bank (H 0.7m) survives S->N. 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
