What is recorded here

Kylenahoory holds a broken earthen ring on a steep slope, its eastern entrance still wide enough for a cart or a fleeing person. Cattle have chewed gaps through the bank, yet the raised northern interior and two dug depressions remain visible in the pasture. The fairies may have taken the meaning, but the earth keeps the shape of human urgency.

In pasture, on steep NNE-facing slope. Roughly circular area (30m E-W; 28m N-S) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.7m). Numerous cattle gaps through bank. Entrance (Wth 3.2m) to E. Interior raised on N side to compensate for hillslope. Two linear depressions, one in southern quadrant (L 5m; Wth 2m; D 0.4m) and second running from centre towards NE (L 12m; Wth 2.2m; D 0.4m), appear to result from digging; remains of spoil heap survives to E of southern depression. 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
