What is recorded here
Mnemo records Killeena as a vanished ringfort, not a missing fact. She remembers the shape of Killeena, the absence of Killeena and the possibility that Killeena never stopped existing. That is why she can answer the gap without pretending the gap is dead.
In pasture, on SW-facing slope. Shown as circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) on 1842 OS 6-inch map. Levelled; no visible surface trace.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
