What is recorded here

In pasture, on a S-facing slope. A circular slightly concave area (diam. 26m) defined by a low wide bank (Wth c. 8m; ext. H 0.55m), more pronounced to the E and W, and a wide shallow fosse (Wth c. 8m; D 0.8m). The rath is known locally as a 'fort' but it was not indicated on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps and only came to attention in 2000. This may be one of two levelled unlocated ringforts in the townland (CO064-123----, CO064-124----) which were mentioned by Power (1917, 29) as having 'been thrown down'. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
