What is recorded here

Glanworth is a lost ringfort in County Cork, Ireland. The name still points to a circular home on an east-facing slope, but pasture and fences have worn the earth flat. A person may have stood inside that circle, watched the sunrise come over the land, and left no bone or jar behind. What remains is a small dip in the field and a forgetter story about the fort.

In pasture, on E-facing slope. Depicted as hachured roughly circular enclosure on 1842 OS 6-inch map. Levelled; circular area (c. 26m N-S) defined by low undulation E->N; bank possibly incorporated into field fence system N->E. 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
