Recorded monuments

• CO103-022 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a grass-covered hillock, in an area of generally rough peaty grazing with clear views of the surrounding hills and mountains. A roughly circular area (diam. 18m) is enclosed by the low intermittent remains of an earthen bank (Wth 1.4m; H 0.2m) from which stones protrude intermittently along the N arc. The disturbed uneven interior is in pasture. Externally the ground slopes down on all sides. The removal of gravel and other works have truncated the SE-SW sector. A possible souterrain (CO103-022001-) is within the rath. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

• CO103-022001 Souterrain
  Description

  In the interior of a rath (CO103-022----). According to local information, an opening in the ground led to an underground passage. The opening was closed for safety reasons and the ground has been levelled off. There are no visible remains of this possible souterrain. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

• CO103-024001 Road - unclassified togher
  Description

  In rough pasture, on bog on the lower S-facing slopes of Canshanavoe Mountain overlooking the valley of Adrigole River to the S. In the course of turf-cutting over several years, preserved pieces of cut wooden planks were encountered on the face of the cut bog (D c. 0.5-0.7m below the surface). These may be the remains of a togher running through the bog (present depth 1-1.8m deep). One piece of wood (L 1.1m; Wth 0.15m; T 0.07m) was identified as oak (Archaeology Dept., UCC). The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

• CO103-024002 Field boundary
  Description

  In rough pasture, on cutaway bog, c. 35m to the E of a togher (CO103-024001-), on the lower S-facing slopes of Canshanavoe Mountain and overlooking the valley of the Adrigole River to S. Turf-cutting has exposed the remains of a relict stone field boundary (T 0.7m; H 0.3m; L c. 40m N-S) which is set on the underlying mineral soil. Many stones are set at right angles to the line of the pre-bog field boundary and are largely obscured by heather and gorse. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

• CO103-025 Mine - copper
  Description

  In rough rocky hill pasture, on the steep N-facing slopes of a river valley. Three separate adits (Wth 2.4m; H 1.2m; L c. 5m, Wth 3m; H 1.1m; L c. 4m and Wth 2.5m; H 2m; L c. 5m) are visible at the base of the N face of a cliff, separated by two pillars of rock. The adits, which are filled with water and debris and slope down to the S, have dome-shaped roofs and traces of fire-setting and occasional green staining of copper mineralisation. Immediately to the N of the adits is a large, mainly sod-covered, irregularly shaped mound (14m E-W; 10m N-S; H 2.4m). The N side of the mound is eroding and spilling down the steep slope as far as the river-bed. Here a variety of heat-shattered stones, damaged stone mauls and nodules of charcoal are visible, intermixed with black charcoal-enriched soil. This mine has been radiocarbon dated to 3230 30BP (O'Brien 2003, Table 1). There is another copper mine (CO103-025001-) c. 45m to the N. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

• CO103-025001 Mine - copper
  Description

  In rough rocky hill pasture, on the steep N-facing slopes of a river valley. An adit (Wth 4m; H 1.5m; L c. 4m), filled with water and debris and sloping down to the S, is visible on the N face of an area of outcropping rock. It has a dome-shaped roof and some traces of fire-setting. Immediately to the N is a small, mainly sod-covered, irregularly shaped mound (4m E-W; 2m N-S; H 0.4m) from which a variety of heat-shattered stones and damaged stone mauls are spilling down the steep slope. A small opening blocked by debris is located 2m to the E. This may represent the entrance to another adit. There is another copper mine (CO103-025----) c. 45m to the S. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

• CO103-026 Hut site
  Description

  In rough mountain pasture, on a terrace on a W-facing slope. The remains of a circular hut site (3.6m N-S; 3.2m E-W) defined by the base stones of a wall (T 0.6m; H 0.3m) which protrude above the surface of the bog cover. The W portion of the hut site is raised (H 0.4m) to create a level interior. Another hut site (CO103-026001-) abuts this hut site at the N.

The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 3.4m) defined by a stone wall (T 0.4m; H 0.1m) E-W and by the eroding face of a bank W-E. The level interior is raised (H 1m) at the S and cut (D 0.6m) into the upslope at N to compensate for the steep slope. There is an enclosure (CO103-027002-) c. 25m to the SW and another hut site (CO103-027004-) is c. 60m to the E. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.

  Description

  In rough gorse-covered pasture, on the foot of a S-facing rocky mountain slope overlooking the mouth of Glenlough valley.

The level interior is raised (H 1m) along the S arc where it is revetted by stone slabs. The entire site is obscured by gorse and ferns. Two hut sites (CO103-027001-, CO103-027004-) lie c. 25m to the NNE and c. 85m to the ENE, respectively. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.
