In pasture, overlooking Castlenalact Lake to SE. Roughly circular area (37.9m N-S; 35m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (H 1.4m); external fosse (D 0.6m) to S and SE. Bank stone-faced and incorporated into field fence system to E; topped by stone wall to W; gap to E. 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
- CO096-112 Ringfort - rath
Description
In pasture, on a gentle SW-facing slope, with commanding views over the valley to the SW. Indicated as an oval 'Danes Fort' on a 1775 map (no. 31) by B. Scalé (private collection). It is not visible at ground level. According to the landowner, when the field was ploughed the area occupied by the rath was notably more stony than the rest of the field. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
- CO096-113 Ringfort - rath
Description
In pasture, on a SE-facing slope, with commanding views W-E; Castlenalact Lake is visible to the SE. Indicated as a circular 'Danes Fort', with a limekiln on its S edge, on a 1775 map (no. 31) by B. Scalé (private collection). A roughly circular depression (diam. c. 25m) defined by a slight rise along the E and S quadrant. An earthen field boundary (Wth 4.6m; int. H 1.2m; ext. H 0.7m) curves to form an arc NNW-NNE and may incorporate the remains of an outer bank. Large stones have been dumped against its N face. The slope down to this possible bank is more pronounced here than elsewhere along the field boundary and may be the remains of a fosse (Wth 3.5m; D 0.35m). There are no visible remains of the limekiln indicated on Scalé's map. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
