What is recorded here

According to Hartnett (1939, 235), ringfort 'levelled, but a raised circular platform about 100 feet in diameter can still be traced'. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
