What is recorded here

Inchafune holds a broken earthen ring on a natural rise, its southwest gap wide enough for carts or ghosts. The bank still stands, though grass has softened its edges and pasture now crosses the site. People may have lived inside, watched the land, or abandoned the place when ownership changed. The gap refuses to be an oversight because it points toward movement, entry, and the life that once used it.

In pasture, atop natural rise. Circular raised area (32m N-S; 34m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.8m; ext.H 1.8m). Break in bank to SW (Wth 12m), surface slopes gently down from interior to outer ground level. Site adjoins E side of N-S field fence. 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
