The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992).

At the E end a 19m length of curving wall, max1m H, partially encloses the lower, open end of the gully. Within this E end there are the remains of a sub-circular hut site which is partially dug into the up-slope. It has internal measurements of c.5m E-W, c.4m N-S with max H of c.0.8m and Wth of c.0.8m. There is a possible entrance, 1m wide, at the W side. Compiled by: Tony Miller Date of upload/revision: 3 March 2022

• CO092-088001 Enclosure

  The enclosure measures c30m E-W by c25m N-S and is formed by partially enclosing the end of a steep gully with a straight length of walling (L 14m; H max 0.8m; W max 0.4m) at the west end and a larger, curving wall (L 19m; H max 1m ) at the eastern side. To north and south the enclosing element is steep bedrock ridges. Compiled by: Tony Miller Date of upload/revision: 4 March 2022

• CO092-088002 Hut site
  Description

  The hut site is located on the southern side of the enclosure (CO092-088001-) and close to a gap in the eastern wall. It is circular in shape and partially dug into the slope at the W side. It measures, internally, 5m E-W; 4m N-S with walls surviving to a max H of 0.8m; 0.8m W with a possible entrance, 1m W, at the western end. The southern terminus of the possible entrance to the hut site forms a further small rounded ‘annex’ measuring 1.6m N-S by 1.4m E-W. The complex is c.36m west of a stream.

• CO092-092 Hut site
  Description

  This wall is made up of random field stones and is c 18m in length (max W 0.8m ; H 0.4m). A relict field boundary, not pre-bog in origin. In the area a thin peaty soil cover up to 0.1m in depth overlay a stony mineralised subsoil exposed in places. The orientation of this boundary wall is NNE-SSW. It appears to be a partial continuation of the field boundary to the west of the standing stone (CO092-048----) to the southeast. Compiled by: Tony Miller Date of upload/revision: 4 March 2022

It is visible for much of this length, sometimes covered by turf and at its southern end it disappears into an area of deeper bog. It survives to a height of 0.6m in places and one section near the newly recorded hut site appears to have facing stones on the western side. This section also appears to have been rebuilt and maintained at different times. Compiled by: Tony Miller Date of upload/revision: 4 March 2022
