The National Monuments Service's description
This record refers to a 'Danish entrenchment or fort' recorded by O Ríordáin (1932, 18-19) and Smith (1815, 237) as being the location on which the Church of Ireland Church (CO110-019008-) was erected. This possible earthwork was referred to in the 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork - vol. 1 West Cork' (1992, 369) under the entry (no. 3344) for the Church of Ireland church (CO110-019008-).
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.
