In pasture, on crest of hill, to E of Ketragh Glen. Depicted as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) on 1842 OS 6-inch map; arc forming solid line indicates site on 1905 and 1937 OS 6-inch maps; circle (diam. c. 40m) completed by hachured scarp on 1937 OS 6-inch map. No visible surface trace of site; according to local information, remains of fort levelled in recent years. Recorded by Bowman (1934, 50) as single-ramparted fort (diam. c. 33yd) in P. O'Connell's land, with two thirds of rampart levelled and remainder forming a boundary fence. 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
