What is recorded here

In level pasture. Depicted as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 70m), with field boundary skirting site NNE->SSE on 1842 OS 6-inch map. Faint trace of levelled bank visible as low rise enclosing circular area, most noticeable to E where shallow depression exists to outside. Field boundary still exists to E. Recorded by Bowman (1934, 420) as levelled double-ramparted fort (diam. inner circuit 75yd) on Mr Dennehy's land; '96 yards of outer rampart still remains to form the boundary fence between two fields.' 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
