What is recorded here

On rocky ground to NE of Rathbarry Castle (CO143-074002-). Central mound (diam. c. 8m; H 0.6m) surrounded by fosse (D 0.2m) with external bank (H 0.6m) from SW->SE. Much disturbance from SE->SW. Gap in bank at ESE. Identified as remains of circular tower associated with Rathbarry Castle by Gillman (1895, 5) but this is very unlikely. 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: 14 January 2009
