Recorded monuments

• CO061-071 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture. Depicted as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) on 1842, 1903 and 1938 OS 6-inch maps. Levelled; mounds of material dumped on area of site. According to Hartnett (1939, 180), single rampart and outer fosse remained with 'indications of an outer bank at the north'; diameter 145ft; entrance to NE. 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

  Description

  In pasture, on NE-facing slope; on low rectangular terrace (13.1m E-W; 6.7m N-S; max. H 1.2m) raised to compensate for hillslope. Plan of church defined by low sod-covered walls. According to Hartnett (1939, 181), S edge defined by line of upright slabs projecting above ground level; other walls were low and sod-covered, with possible opes in centre of W wall and near W end of N wall; W wall appeared to continue to N and S beyond corners of church, probably remains of N-S field fence shown on 1842 OS 6-inch map but since levelled. Exact nature of site unclear. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997).

• CO061-074 Ogham stone
  Description

  This long, narrow stone (2.2m; 0.3m x 0.15m) was discovered in 1982 during drainage works. Lankford (1993, 6-7) read the inscription as ANM MAQQI-LASIR K[O]I MA(Q)QI BIR(R)AC(I)AS or ANM MAQQI-LASIRE(O)N MAQQI BIR(R)ACIAS. However, some of the letters read by him may be from an earlier inscription on the stone. ANM MAQQI-LASIRE MAQQI BIRRAC 'name/inscription of Mac-Laisre son of Berrach' is another possible interpretation. This stone is now in the National Museum of Ireland (see DU018-418----). (Power 1997, no. 7955) This stone has been studied as part of the ‘Ogham in 3D’ project undertaken by the School of Celtic Studies, Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies.
