In middle of complex, two parallel walls, gently curving, run N-S c. 190m (20m apart); remains of two cross walls link these, forming sub-rectangular fields (20m x 40m); walls composed of upright stones (H c.0.7m), at intervals of 2.5m-3m with stone filling in between. To N, series of walls set at right angles to one another covering area 112m N-S; 70m E-W. Immediately N, at base of cut-away bog (D 0.6m) collapsed wall running E-W for 52m. On top of a hillock at S end of complex is cist-like structure (1.6m NE-SW; 0.92m NW-SE) (CO091-009004-), defined on 3 sides by slabs and by series of small stones (some fallen) on NW side; number small stones set along inside of slabs. In middle of complex, rough stones arranged in a rough rectangle (4m E-W; 2m N-S) defined on 3 sides by prostrate stones (CO091-009002-); according to local informationa flagstone covering site was removed for road works.

• CO091-026 Anomalous stone group
  Description

  Within a coniferous forest, 20m S of its N perimeter, in the floor of an E-facing boggy valley surrounded by mountains on the W side of Borlin Valley. The remains comprise two upright stones. The E stone is a neat slab with a rectangular profile (H 0.95m; 1.5m x 0.15m) and is aligned ESE-WNW. The W stone (H 0.47m; 0.7m x 0.3m) stands 1.15m to the NW and is aligned NW-SE. The stones are not set with their long axes in line. The scant remains might suggest the arrangement of an axial stone (E stone) and adjoining flanking stone of a stone circle. However, further evidence would be required before ascertaining the exact nature of this monument. The surface of a slab is exposed 1.5m NE of the E stone; its outline could not be determined and its relationship to the stone group is unclear. A fulacht fia (CO091-027----) lies c. 120m to the E.

Several upright slabs are set at right angles to the line of the walls. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.
