Recorded monuments
- CO142-010 Ringfort - rath
Description
In pasture, on break in N-facing slope of E-W ridge. Circular, slightly raised area (diam. c. 25m) enclosed by earthen bank (H 1.6m), with silted-up fosse. Entrance to ENE (Wth 6m). Interior raised on N side to compensate for hillslope. Surrounding field fences have been removed. 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
- CO142-011 Country house
Description
According to the Buildings of Ireland website (https://www.buildingsofireland.ie/buildings-search/building/20914209/shepperton-park-aghills-cork) this is a detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1780, with later porch entrance porch addition (north), five-bay garden front (east) and lean to single-bay two-storey extension to west. Now disused. Hipped slate roofs with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Rubble stone construction with render and slate hanging. Rendered walls to porch, channelled to form ashlar effect. Square-headed openings, some blocked, with single one-over-one timber sliding sash windows. Tripartite one-over-one timber sliding sash windows to south. Round-headed triple of one-over-one timber sliding sash windows to porch. Stone sills throughout. Square-headed door openings throughout with timber panelled door having sidelights and overlight to porch and replacement timber panelled door with overlight to side south. Rubble limestone boundary walls with gate piers and wrought-iron gates. Range of outbuildings to rear, having pitched slate roofs and rendered walls. The appraisal (written on the 01-08-2008 at the time of the site visit) comments: though now sadly neglected, this fine country house retains much of its historic character and charm. Its former high status is obvious from the first edition Ordnance Survey map, which shows related structures included landscaped grounds, a lake, gate lodge and ranges of outbuildings. The slate hanging is a particularly notable feature as it was traditionally used throughout Cork county and is now unfortunately, increasingly rare.
