What is recorded here

Keenrath holds a thirty-metre earthen ring on a south-facing slope, preserving a boundary humans drew before forgetting the names of its owners. Grass and shadow have swallowed the entrance, yet the bank still stands one and a half metres high against the pasture wind. People may have lived, buried or feared the place, but the earth kept its shape while memory left.

In pasture, on S-facing slope. Circular, heavily overgrown area (diam. c.30m) enclosed by earthen bank (H 1.5m). 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
