What is recorded here

In pasture, at E end of low E-W ridge, on lower slopes of Mullaghmesha, S of Mealagh River. Circular area (29m N-S; 27.1m E-W) enclosed by earth and stone bank (H 2.4m). Myler (1998, 90) records 'that there is a local tradition of a tunnel connecting this fort with another rigfort 150 yards to the west of it (CO106-029----). The tunnel is said to show up as a line in the grass in dry weather'. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 29 January 2013
