• CO104-021001 Cupmarked stone
  Description

  In rough hill pasture, with occasional outcropping rock, on cutaway bog, on a SW-facing slope and within a network of relict field boundaries (CO104-021003-). This cupmarked stone was described in August 1997 as a large flat-topped natural boulder which has a group of ten possible cupmarks near the centre of its upper surface. A subsequent search for this possible cupmarked stone in January 2005 failed to locate it at this location or in the surrounding area.

• CO104-021002 Hut site
  Description

  In rough hill pasture, on a terrace on cutaway bog on a SW-facing slope and within a network of relict field boundaries (CO104-021003-). The remains of a D-shaped hut site (6m E-W) defined by curving stone walls (T 0.55m; H 0.35m) with a straight W side (L 4.8m). The walls protrude above the surface of the remaining shallow bog. Rushes obscure the level interior and the surrounding area. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).

• CO104-021003 Field boundary
  Description

  In rough hill pasture, with occasional outcropping rock, on cutaway bog, on a SW-facing slope. Turf-cutting has exposed the remains of a network of relict stone field boundaries (T 0.6m; H 0.5m) in an irregularly shaped area (c. 220m E-W; c. 130m N-S). The relict walls, both linear and curvilinear, protrude intermittently from the remaining shallow bog. Most of the stones are set upright at right angles to the line of the wall. Two hut sites (CO104-021002-, CO104-021004-), a fulacht fia (CO104-021005-) and a possible cupmarked stone (CO104-021001-) are within the network of relict field boundaries.

  Description

  In rough hill pasture, on cutaway bog on a SW-facing slope and within a network of relict field boundaries (CO104-021003-). Turf-cutting has exposed the remains of a D-shaped hut site (2m N-S) defined by a curving stone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.4m) with a straight S side (L 2.6m), which is formed by a section of relict wall from the field boundary network. Stones are scattered in the interior and externally along the W-N arc. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).

A crescent-shaped mound (9m E-W; 5.5m N-S; H 1.1m) of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil. The opening (Wth 3m) faces S towards the stream. This burnt material is exposed at the tip of each of the arms which are being eroded by the stream. A hut site (CO104-021002-) lies c. 40m to the SE.
