- CO091-010001 Field boundary
Description
In an area of bog covered with moor grass, on an E-facing hillslope overlooking the valley of the Barony River. A network of mainly collapsed, curvilinear, stone field boundaries (T 0.6m; H 0.4m) protrudes above the surface of the bog in an irregularly shaped area (c. 180m N-S; c. 130m E-W). Occasionally the relict field boundaries run on into deeper bog in wet hollow areas. There are six hut sites (CO091-010002-, CO091-010003-, CO091-010004-, CO091-010005-, CO091-010010- and CO091-010011-), two enclosures (CO091-010006-, CO091-010008-), a standing stone (CO091-010009-) and a wedge-tomb (CO091-010007-) within this network of relict field boundaries.

- CO091-010007 Megalithic tomb - wedge tomb
Description
On a dry grassy upland terrace, on the W side of the upper reaches of the Barony River valley with fine views to the SE and S along the valley to Glengarriff Harbour. The remains consist of a well-preserved gallery (L 4.2m; Wth 1.1m at W, narrowing only slightly to 0.95m at E), aligned NNE-SSW. In the following description the monument is described as if aligned E-W. The N and S sides are each formed by three stones and an inset backstone closes the E end. The entrance stones at the W end are exceptionally tall (S stone: H 1.75m; N stone: H 1.15m). A low, longitudinally set, jamb-like stone (H 0.35m) stands immediately S of the N entrance stone. The sides are neatly framed by close-set outer-walling, four stones to N and S. The chamber area appears to have been dug out and according to local tradition, the monument had been investigated in the early twentieth century in a search for 'treasure'. One roofstone (L 1.5m: Wth 1.2m; T > 0.1m) lies immediately W of the entrance and a second (L 2.5m; Wth 1.5m; T 0.15m) rests at an angle against a S sidestone at the E end of the gallery. Traces of a mound are evident curving about the E end of the gallery. There are a number of hut sites in the vicinity (CO090-010004- c. 60m to the NW and CO090-010010-; CO090-010003-; CO090-010005-; CO090-010011-; CO090-010002- located 200m; 230m; 250m; 260m and c. 300m to the SW, respectively). There is a standing stone (CO090-010009-) 200m to the SSW and enclosures (CO090-010008-; CO090-010006-) c. 100m and 188m to the SE and SW, respectively. Two other wedge tombs (CO091-013----; CO091-014003-) are across the valley c. 1.4km to the SE. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.

- CO091-010008 Enclosure
Description
On bog within relict field boundaries (CO091-010012-) on an E-facing hillslope overlooking the valley of the Barony River. A circular area (diam. 14m) is defined by a largely collapsed stone wall (T 1.3; H 0.7m) displaying traces of an inner and an outer row of upright contiguous slabs with an infill of earth and stone, especially along the SE-S arc. The entrance (Wth 1.2), at E, is defined by two upright parallel slabs. The almost level interior, covered with rushes, is raised (0.4m) at E and cut into the upslope (D 1m) at W to compensate for the hillslope. A field wall, protruding from the bog, abuts the NW side. Rubble is scattered downslope to the E. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
