- CO142-090 Ringfort - rath
Description
In pasture, on SW-facing slope. Circular area (diam. 28m) enclosed by scarp (H 2.2m) SW->NW; slight rise up to surrounding field N->S. Field fence atop scarp SW->NW; respecting enclosure NW->NNE. Gap in field boundary to NW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
- CO142-091001 Enclosure
Description
In pasture, on gentle E-facing slope on W side of Glandore Harbour. Excavated by O'Kelly (1954, 69-86). He described an oval area (24.4m N-S; 21.3m E-W) enclosed by stone bank (max. H 1.2m; max. Wth 2.7m). W half of bank contains low upright slabs set radially at intervals of 0.6m-0.9m. Entrance to E. Excavation revealed oval house site (10m N-S; 6.7m E-W) with entrance also to E. O'Kelly suggests an Early Bronze Age date for the enclosure and house site. Foundations of square house (CO142-091002-) super imposed on the oval house were also discovered. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992).

- CO142-091002 House - early medieval
Description
Discovered during excavation of enclosure (CO142-091001-) at Carrigillihy. O'Kelly (1951, 69-86) describes wall foundations (max. H 2 feet) of a drystone-built house (ext. L 28 feet; Wth ext. 28 feet; L int. 20 feet; Wth int. 17 feet); long axis WNW-ESE: there are two opes, opposite each other on the shorter wall. He dates the site to the Early Christian period or later. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
- CO142-091003 House - Bronze Age
Description
In enclosure (CO142-091001-). Excavation revealed oval house site (10m N-S; 6.7m E-W) with entrance also to E. O'Kelly suggests an Early Bronze Age date for the enclosure and house site. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
- CO142-092002 Burial ground
Description
In pasture, on gentle E-facing slope, on W side of Glandore estuary. Rectangular enclosure (14.5m NE-SW; 6.3m NW-SE) defined by stone wall (H 0.8m; Wth c. 0.95m); area inside raised up to near top of walls - uneven surface with loose stones. Smith (1750 vol. 1, 263) stated 'at Carigiliky...extensive ruins were discovered...of the Abbey de Sancto Mauro'. This assertion that here is a Cistercian abbey, is supported by local tradition (O'Sullivan 1944, 1-9). However, the correct location of this abbey would appear to be at Aghmanister (CO136-022---), being moved later to Abbey Mahon (CO136-030003-) (Gwynn and Hadcock 1988, 125; Stalley 1987, 241). However, there is no doubt that this is site of burial ground of some antiquity. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
- CO142-093 Promontory fort - coastal
Description
Rectangular area projecting E into Glandore harbour. Excavation by O'Kelly (1952, 29-35) found no trace of occupation in 'archaeologically sterile' interior. Sections through defences at neck of promontory revealed dry-stone faced bank (H c. 4ft) with core of stone chips quarried from steep-sided fosse (D c. 6ft); original entrance not found, O'Kelly suggests it may have been at either end and subsequently eroded away. Promontory overgrown with bracken when visited; little erosion since O'Kelly's excavation in 1950. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
- CO142-102001 Anomalous stone group
Description
Published in Archaeological Inventory, Volume 1 (No. 902) as 'Two roughly parallel standing stones, 1.5m apart.

Monument revisited 24 March 2005: 'In rough pasture, near the N edge of a terrace with occasional rock outcrops, on a N-facing slope with a view E over Glandore Harbour and W-N over undulating farm land. Two roughly parallel standing stones are 1.5m apart. The upright stone at S (H 1.05m; 0.9m x 0.2m) is aligned ENE-WSW. The N stone (H 1.25m; 0.85m x 0.3m), also aligned WSW-ENE, is leaning to N against a lower stone (H 0.6m; 0.8m x 0.2m) aligned NW-SE at its W corner; at its E corner a stone (H 0.45m; 1.2m x 0.2m) is aligned N-S. These latter two stones are suggestive of a facing for a bank though none survives.' The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.

Description
In rough pasture, on a terrace with occasional outcropping rock, on a N-facing slope.

Traces of low mounds indicate the graves. This is the children's burial ground recorded by O'Donoghue (1986, 43). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992).

- CO142-104 Ritual site - holy well
Description
On the rocky seashore at the foot of an E-facing slope overlooking the mouth of Glandore Harbour. Spring water emerges from a crevice in the rock and flows eastwards forming an irregular shaped holy well (c. 0.8m x 0.3m). The well is known locally as 'Tobar na Cille - well of the church' (O'Donoghue 1986, 43). It is said to be associated with the church (CO142-092003-) and burial ground (CO142-092002-) c. 100m to the SW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992).
