Recorded monuments

• CO147-053 Cupmarked stone
  Description

  On rising ground above small lake. Boulder (H 0.5m; L 2.85m; Wth 2m) with twenty cupmarks (max. diam. 0.22m). Finlay (1973, 99) records a further six shallow cupmarks and a dump-bell motif. The boulder has a medial crack. 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.

• CO147-054 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  In pasture on cliff; Crookhaven to S. No visible surface trace. Mentioned by Lewis (1837, vol. 1, 436) as 'ruins of Castle Mehan, which was built by the Mehans or O'Heas in 1540'. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992).

• CO147-070001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In level pasture, on a terrace on a steep S-sloping hillside overlooking Crookhaven. A heavily overgrown arc S-NNW may indicate the remains of the enclosing element of a rath (diam. c. 20m). This arc is also indicated on the 1902 OS 6-inch map. The top of a fern-covered mound of stones at N appears to be field clearance, but it may overlay the original enclosing element. From N-NNE the arc (L c. 6m) of a low bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.45m; ext. H 0.45m) may indicate further remains of the enclosing element. From SSE-S the arc of a rebuilt revetment stone wall (H 1.6m) appears to follow what may have been an enclosing scarp. Elsewhere, there is no definite trace of an enclosing element and the ground surface is uneven. A souterrain (CO147-070002-) is within the possible 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

• CO147-070002 Souterrain
  Description

  In a possible rath (CO147-070001-). An opening in the ground, surrounded by stones, leads down to a stone-built souterrain chamber (Wth c. 0.9m; H 0.7m) roofed with lintels. The chamber extends to the E but for safety reasons it was not entered. A roughly circular depression (diam. 2m; D 0.1m) 6m to the E of the opening probably indicates further collapse. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
