What is recorded here

One hundred twenty metres west stands a stone marker, but the fort itself has vanished beneath ploughshares and time. What remains is a ghost in the soil, a circular shadow on an old map rather than a ridge in the field. The land holds the shape even when the eye cannot find it, waiting for rain or memory to reveal the boundary again.

In tillage, on E-facing slope. Shown on 1842 OS 6-inch map as circular enclosure (diam. 40m) abutting NW-SE road. Levelled; no visible surface trace. Standing stone (CO063-043---) c. 120m to W. 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. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
