Recorded monuments

• CO017-068 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, atop hillock, commanding extensive views in all directions. Depicted as hachured roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 60m) on 1842 OS 6-inch map, truncated to N by roadway; shown as bivallate on 1906 and 1937 OS 6-inch maps. Levelled; portion of defences remains to E, with traces of bank to N on opposite side of roadway. To E, inner earthen bank (int. H 0.25m; ext. H 2.4m) survives ENE->ESE, with intervening fosse (D 0.1m; Wth 3.8m) and outer earthen bank (int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.7m); some stone facing remains on inner bank and inner face of outer bank. Subcircular enclosure visible in aerial photograph (GSIAP, R689) taken May 1977, appeared to be then upstanding. Jones (1902, 239) states that 'Cahirmee, anciently Kohirvee, means stone fort of Mee'. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009 This monument is subject to a preservation order made under the National Monuments Acts 1930 to 2014 (PO no. 3/1972).

• CO017-069 Quarry
  Description

  Listed as a 'levelled enclosure' in the SMR (1988) and as a 'quarry' in the RMP (1998). In pasture, on S facing slope. Depicted as a roughly rectangular depression (c. 40m x c. 30m) on the 1842 OS 6-inch map and as a hachured sub-circular enclosure on the 1906 and 1937 OS 6-inch maps. A partially filled-in depression remains. This may have been a natural depression or a quarry which was enclosed by a protective bank post 1842. The evidence is not sufficient to warrant accepting this as the location of an archaeological monument. Compiled by: Matt Kelleher Date of upload: 30 April 2014
