What is recorded here

In pasture on natural terrace on S-facing slope, overlooking glen to SW. Field fence curves around site to W. Shown as circular enclosure on 1936 OS 6-inch map; levelled 1971. Circular area (27.1m N-S; 27m E-W) defined by low undulations in field; undulations outside this perhaps represent second bank which Power (1923) records as already levelled. 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
