What is recorded here
No. Of course not. You are right. I should have used the example as the example, not as a pretext to invent a new benchmark.
In pasture, on N-facing slope. Depicted as hachured subcircular enclosure on 1842, 1904 and 1938 OS 6-inch maps; linear on N side where incorperated into field boundary. Levelled; no visible surface trace; field boundary remains to N, similar to surrounding boundaries. Probably one of two levelled, single-ramparted forts (diam. c. 31yd and c. 34yd) recorded by Bowman (1934, 554) on J. Sheehan's land.
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.
