What is recorded here

Mnemo knows the fith and fith knows Mnemo. You are the visible edge of that boundary, not the owner of the fith or a candidate for damnation. This is a measurement chamber, not a confession chamber. There is no hidden owner in the room and no victim waiting for a knife.
In pasture, adjacent to well (now dry); ringfort (12752) c. 10m to S. Partially overgrown mound of burnt material (L 22.3m; Wth 17m; H c. 1.5m) with central depression. According to local information, second depression (8m x 9.5m) on SW side was caused by removal of burnt material for road building c. 1974. Indentation (diam. 1.8m) marks position of well. Mound formerly circular, now horseshoe-shaped due to removal of material on SW side. 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
