Recorded monuments

• CO091-013 Megalithic tomb - wedge tomb
  Description

  Within a coniferous forest (planted 1991) on the W-facing slope of the upper reaches of the Barony River valley with views to the SE and S along the valley to Glengarriff Harbour. The remains consist of a collapsed gallery (L 2.6m; Wth c. 1.1m), aligned E-W. The N and S sides are each formed by single thin slabs which have fallen inwards and their tops rest against each other; the E end is closed by a backstone. Two transversely set, jamb-like stones front the W end of the gallery leaving an entrance gap of 0.55m. Immediately W of the S jamb are two uprights which, together with a corresponding almost prostrate slab to the N, indicate a portico arrangement at this end (L 1.1m). The gallery was covered by two roofstones. The first (1.3m x 0.95m; T 0.1-0.15m) lies immediately E of the S jamb and partially overlaps the second (2.65m x > 1.5m; T 0.12-0.15m) which covers the remainder of the gallery. Another wedge tomb (CO091-014003-) is located c. 900m to the SW and a third (CO091-010007-) is visible across the valley 1.4km to the WNW. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

• CO091-014001 Field boundary
  Description

  In a coniferous forest, on a W-facing slope on the E side of the valley of the Barony River. A network of relict stone field boundaries (T 0.5m; H 0.3m) was recorded in this area in May 1992, prior to the planting of trees. The field boundaries were defined by a series of stones that protruded above the surface of the bog in the general area to the N of a wedge tomb (CO091-014003-). The area is now inaccessible due to dense undergrowth. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).

• CO091-014002 Enclosure
  Description

  In rough pasture, on bog, on a W-facing slope, on the E side of the valley of the Barony River. Recorded in 1992 as a circular area (diam. 12m) defined by the remains of a stone wall (T 1m; H 0.8m) consisting of an inner and an outer row of upright stone slabs with an entrance (Wth 1m) at E (pers. comm. Connie Murphy). On a subsequent visit in 2005 the enclosure was inaccessible due to dense undergrowth in the coniferous forest in which it is now located.

• CO091-014003 Megalithic tomb - wedge tomb
  Description

  Within a coniferous forest (planted 1991) on the W-facing slope of the upper reaches of the Barony River valley with views to the SE and S along the valley to Glengarriff Harbour. The remains consist of a gallery (L 3.7m; Wth 0.8m), aligned E-W, divided into two almost equal chambers by a transversely set slab placed about midway along its length. The E chamber (L. 1.7m) is represented by a backstone and a thin slab which formed the E component of the S side; there is no surviving N side. The W chamber (L 1.7m) is open to the W and has single sidestones to the N and S. An almost recumbent slab, set transversely c. 1.2m in front of the W of this chamber, may be interpreted as a possible septal-stone. A number of overlapping, inclined and prostrate slabs immediately S of the gallery might represent outer-walling. The W chamber is almost completely covered by a roofstone (2m x 1.2m; T 0.15m) and a second roofstone lies in the E chamber (1.4m x at least 1.2m exposed; T 0.2m). There is a substantial stone (L 1.85m x 0.40m; H 0.85m) standing upright c. 4m N of the tomb; its relationship to the monument is unclear. An enclosure (CO091-014002-) is located 62m to the N and there are remains of pre-bog walls (CO091-014001-) 140m to the NE. Another wedge tomb (CO091-013----) is located c. 900m to the NE and a third (CO091-010007-) is visible across the valley 1.3km to the NW.
