Description
In pasture, on SW-facing slope. Circular area (32m N-S; 31m E-W) defined by earthen bank (H 1.15m) NW->S; scarp with slight internal lip elsewhere. Scarp revetted by large slabs and some stone facing. Breaks in bank to SSW (Wth 5m) and NNW. Interior slopes gently down to SW in northern half; raised on S side to compensate for hillslope. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
- CO081-050 Megalithic structure
Description
In uneven-surfaced ground with occasional ridges of outcropping rock on an E-facing hillslope of Coornahahilly Mountain, within a coniferous forest. A ridge of outcropping rock runs in a general E-W direction. A slab (H 1.2m; 2.8m x 0.35m) has broken from the S face of the outcropping rock and leans slightly to the N as it decreases in height from W to E. A wedge-shaped chamber (Wth 0.5m; H 1.2m at the WSW open end; Wth 0.25m; H 0.22m at the closed ENE end) is formed by a second upright slab (H 1.2m; 1.85m x 0.15m) also sloping down to the ENE. A triangular portion of the lower W end of this slab has broken off but remains in situ accompanied by other smaller stones. The roof, sloping down to the ENE, consists of three smaller slabs (Wth 0.65m, 0.75m and 0.45m respectively). An arrangement of stones outside the entrance to the chamber suggests a modification for use as an animal shelter. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
