Enclosure in Keatleysclose

Cropmark of fosse of circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) visible in aerial photograph (GSIAP, W413, July 1975; CUCAP, BDS11, July 1970); concentric outer fosse NNW->S; field fence shown on 1905 and 1935 OS 6-inch maps kinks either to skirt or follow the line of the outer fosse from S->NNW. Aerial photograph (CASAP, July 1989) shows field fence levelled and E half of site now within sports field. The kink of the field fence suggests some upstanding remains of enclosure when fence was built post 1842. 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
