What is recorded here

In tillage, above sharp E-facing fall down to stream. Hachured arc of SW quadrant of possible enclosure depicted on 1842, 1903 and 1940 OS 6-inch maps, with field fence forming SE quadrant (diam c. 30m). Levelled; no visible surface trace. Hartnett (1939, 133), recorded 'single ramparted fort 120 feet in overall diameter' but only SW quadrant remained and earth and stone field fence formed eastern boundary of site. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
