What is recorded here

Indicated is a circular earth and stone ringfort in County Cork, Ireland, measuring twenty-one metres across with a one-metre-tall bank. It sits on a north-facing pasture slope, now hidden beneath deciduous trees and overgrown vegetation. A man-made underground passage cuts through the northwest quadrant, inviting curiosity about who dug it and why. The fort has watched the land for centuries, waiting for people to remember its shape.

In pasture, on N-facing slope. Circular area (21m N-S) enclosed by earth and stone bank (H 1.25m). Bank heavily overgrown; deciduous trees planted in interior; Man-made underground passage (CO134-096---) in NW quadrant. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992).
