What is recorded here

Cropmark (CASAP) shows univallate circular enclosure (diam. c. 15-20m) a short distance to W of ringfort (CO098-026---). Faint traces of C-shaped annexe of similar diameter to E. Other faint traces in field difficult to interpret. Linear feature possibly curves to NW from N side of annexe; breaks in NE corner of field; curve continues S to join with SW side of enclosure. Short length N-S fosse runs from N curve towards field fence. Straight length of fosse runs NW-SW from E side of enclosure across and beyond annexe. Possible trackway defined by parallel fosses runs SW-NE across annexe, forks to NW and E towards N field fence. 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
