What is recorded here

Lisnacunna holds a thirty-metre earthen ring on a south-facing slope, shaped by human hands across centuries. The bank rises one metre against the hill, while a shallow ditch cuts the northern edge. Grass and forgotten tools have softened the inside, yet the circle remains clear enough to walk. People may have lived, hidden or marked ownership there before written memory. The field fences are gone, but the ring still refuses to disappear.

In pasture, on S facing slope. Circular area (diam. c. 30m) enclosed by earthen bank (H 1.1m); external fosse to N (D 0.5m). Interior heavily overgrown; raised on S side to compensate for hillslope. Surrounding field fences have been removed. 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
