What is recorded here
Berehaven's blue water and the Caha Mountains still face the empty terrace where the fort stood before men took it away. Local memory preserves the loss but cannot picture the shape, size or rooms that once broke the horizon. The hidden passage may still cut through soil beneath the grass, waiting for someone brave enough to listen for knocking from below.
In pasture, on a terrace on a N-facing slope overlooking Berehaven Harbour and the Caha Mountains. According to local information, a rath existed at this location and was totally removed in the past. It is not visible at ground level. A possible Man-made underground passage (CO128-040002-) is also associated with this rath.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
