What is recorded here

Lisnacaheraghmore is a ruined ringfort in West Cork, its shallow circular wall barely rising a metre above the pasture. The uneven ground slopes downward toward a hidden passage, suggesting the fort was built to descend rather than defend against weather or invasion. That much is clear from the shape of the land. What is less certain is whether the passage led nowhere, to water, or into the hill itself.

In pasture, on W-facing slope, surrounding hilly ground broken by rock outcrop. Originally circular enclosure (29m N-S). Enclosing feature survives as rise (H 1.2m) NW->SW. Uneven interior slopes down to W; possible Man-made underground passage (CO151-030002-). 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
