In rough grazing land. Circular area (diam. 44m) defined by scarp (H 1m), topped by stone wall. Interior planted with coniferous trees; possible souterrain (CO060-123002-) in NE quadrant. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
- CO060-123002: Souterrain, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCO060-123002-. In NE quadrant of ringfort (CO060-123001-). Coleman (1947, 71) noted a 'trench which looks like a collapsed souterrain'. Now closed up, but according to local information, depression leading SE from ringfort towards Clashavoon stream is associated with possible souterrain.

This fulacht fia was discovered during topsoil stripping in advance of the construction of an ESB substation and was excavated in 2000. Prior to excavation it was described as a slightly raised grass-covered oval mound (c. 40m SE-NW; 10.4m NW-SE) with gorse buses growing on it. Excavation revealed that the mound (max. H 0.5m) consisted of two main deposits of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil. A stone-lined trough (1.8m N-S; 1.6m E-W; D 0.4m) was revealed at the W edge of the mound. An arc of stake-holes, open to the N, was also found to the E of the trough. A circular pit (1.6m E-W; 1.2m N-S; D 0.45m) filled with clay with frequent inclusions of fire-cracked stones was found to the N of the mound. (Larsson 2004, 54) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
