- CO046-066: Castle - unclassified, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCO046-066----. Symbol for castle on Bateman map (1716-1717) atop hill, short distance N of Curraglass-Tallow road and 200m W of county boundary. Smith (1750, vol. 1, 152) states that 'Kilmacow' castle 'about a mile W of Tallow' was 'built by John Fitz-Gerald' ('the youngest son of Thomas, eight Earl of Desmond executed in 1467 at Drogheda' (Waters 1916,163)). Waters (ibid., 164) suggests that 'it may have collapsed between 1745 and 1749 for Smith writes of its ruins as 'standing' in his history of Waterford (1746) and as very lately fallen down in his history of Cork (1750). According to local information, site of castle in field to E of Springdale House. No visible surface trace. 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
- CO046-078: Moated site, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCO046-078----. In pasture, on low-lying level ground between two E-W ridges and close to the base of the S ridge. A square enclosure named 'Danish Fort' is indicated on a 1774 map (no. 1) of the manors of Lismore, Lisfinny, Mogeely and Curraglass by B. Scalé (NLI MSS 7216-18). The remains of this moated site consist of a slightly raised square area (46m E-W; 45m N-S) in the SE corner of the field. The interior is defined by a scarp which is topped by a low bank along the S half of the E side and on the S side. There is an external fosse on the E and S sides. The scarp (H 0.7m) on the W, N and along the N half of the E side is low and grass-covered. Elsewhere the scarp (H 1.4m) is topped by a low earthen bank (H 0.4m) which is incorporated into the field boundary system. The fosse (Wth 6m; D 0.8m) along the N half of the E side is defined externally by an earthen bank (int. H 1.4m; ext. H 0.8m). An earthen bank crossing the fosse at an angle joins this bank with the low bank (H 0.2m) topping the scarp along the S half of the E side. The fosse (D 0.4m) along the S half of the E side and along the S side has been recut to act as a drainage ditch. The interior is grass covered and no internal features were noted. According to local information, this moated site formerly consisted of a square area surrounded by a high earthen bank and a deep waterlogged fosse but it was partially levelled in the 1970s by filling the bank into the fosse on the N and W sides. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
