What is recorded here

In pasture on W-facing slope. Shown as hachured bivallate enclosure on 1842 OS 6-inch map. Power (1923, 195) records bivallate fort here. Site has been levelled; now survives as oval platform (45m N-S; 62m E-W) defined by scarp (H 1.5m). Stream, rising outside S side, flows around site to W. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
