What is recorded here

Farahy held a forty-metre earthen ring on a sunny slope, visible enough for surveyors to draw three times before ploughs erased it. The loss is not mysterious; it is the ordinary fate of soil without stone. What remains is the shape of human effort, recorded in ink and forgotten by the land.

In pasture, atop rise, on gentle S-facing slope. Depicted as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) on 1842, 1905 and 1936 OS 6-inch maps. 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
