What is recorded here

In ringfort (CO030-10001-). According to Bowman (1934, 281), 'when Mr Leahy's farm-house was built c. 100 years ago, stones were taken from a souterrain in this fort, and were used in the building. Old bridle bits, and swords were then found but have been lost since'. No visible surface trace; interior of fort heavily overgrown. 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
