Description
On gentle W-facing slope at head of valley of tributary of Keel River.

Upright slab divides entrance to N; outer walling survives along E and is doubled at NW side. Gallery covered by two roofstones. Field clearance material piled at N end of monument. Interpretation as wedge-tomb consistent with surviving remains; use of outcropping rock may account for atypical orientation. Wedge-tomb (6386) 800m to SW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997).

Gallery covered by three roofstones; slab at E end may be displaced roofstone. Gallery area appears to be dug out; mound to N and S may be spoil. Wedge-tomb (6385) 800m to NE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997).

Description
In cut-away bog on saddle between two hills overlooking Foherish River valley to W. W stone is prostrate; it measures 1.65m by 0.7m and is 0.55m T. Second stone stands 1.1m to E; it is 0.75m L, 0.3m T and 1.05m H. Stones appear to have been aligned E-W; estimated overall length is c. 2.5m. 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
- CO048-179 Standing stone
Description
In rough bogland, on a S-facing slope, overlooking the Laney Valley. This possible standing stone (0.77m x 0.16m; H 1.14m), which was orientated N-S, was recorded in 1999 (pers. comm. M. Hodd). Much of this area has since been drained and mounds of field clearance stones and boulders occur randomly on the hillside. A subsequent inspection of the area failed to locate this possible standing stone and it is now most likely to be included in one of the clearance mounds. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
- CO048-184 Hut site
Description
In rough hill grazing, on a slight break in a WSW-facing hillslope. The remains of a roughly circular hut site (diam. 2.6m) defined by a jumbled drystone wall (max. T 1.4m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.45m) with a square-shaped area (1.1m N-S; 1m E-W) which projects to the W. Many of the stones are set at right angles to the line of the wall of the hut site and some are leaning. The interior of the hut site slopes gently down to the W. The hut site is sheltered at the S by a ridge of higher ground. The remains of a roughly oval annexe (8m N-S x 6m E-W) abuts the hut site to the N. The annexe is defined on its W side by a line of upright stones which extend to the N from the NW corner of the hut and on the N by a slightly curving arc of upright stones. A scatter of stones along the hillslope faintly define the E side of the annexe. There is an entrance (Wth 0.6m) at the centre of the W wall. A relict field boundary (CO048-186----) lies c. 17m to the SE. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
- CO048-186 Field boundary
Description
In rough hill grazing, on a slight break in slope of a peaty WSW-facing hill. A relict, linear, stone field boundary (T c. 0.6m; H c. 0.3m), which protrudes above the peaty surface, commences c. 17m to the SE of a hut site (CO048-184----) and extends (L 24m) in a general NW-SE direction before disappearing into the bog at the SE. Towards its NW end the relict wall turns to the NE for a distance of 2m. Some of the stones are set at right angles to the line of the wall and the wall varies from one to two stones in width. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
