Recorded monuments
- CO121-026 Ringfort - rath
Description
In pasture, on S-facing slope. Circular area (22m N-S; 22m E-W) enclosed by steep-sided earthen bank (max. ext. H 3.8m; max. int. H 1.9m); silted-up fosse SE->SW. Stone wall built atop bank to N. Bank stone faced internally to NW, N and ESE. Concrete trackway runs outside W bank cutting into outer bank face. Interior heavily overgrown with briars and ferns. 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
- CO121-105 Burnt mound
Description
In level pasture. An irregularly shaped spread (c. 15m E-W; c. 12m N-S) of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil on the S bank of a stream. There is another possible burnt mound (CO121-106----) c. 150m to the E. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
- CO121-106 Burnt mound
Description
In rough grazing covered with rushes, on a NW-facing slope. Heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil are scattered intermittently on the surface of a roughly rectangular area (c. 14m E-W; c. 12m N-S). There is another possible burnt mound (CO121-105----) c. 150m to the W. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
- CO121-107001 Ringfort - rath
Description
In tillage, on a NW-facing slope. A field boundary curving E-SW indicated on the 1900 OS 6-inch map may have enclosed or respected a levelled rath. The field boundary has been removed and the high crop in the field made inspection of this location impossible. A possible souterrain (CO121-107002-) is recorded in the general area of this 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
- CO121-107002 Souterrain
Description
Within a possible rath (CO121-107001-). This earth-cut souterrain (L. 2.8m N-S; Wth 1.8m;. H c. 1.5m) was discovered during ploughing in the 1990s (pers. comm. John Cronin). A stone-built wall (Wth 1.6m; H 0.9m) was visible at the N end of the chamber. A subsequent inspection of the area in July 2005, when there was a corn crop in the field, failed to gain access to the souterrain location. No differential growth pattern was discernible in the field on this occasion when the area was viewed from higher ground. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
