In mountain pasture on ENE-facing slope overlooking Coomhola river valley; covering an area of c. 7000 sq.m. with ancient field boundaries, hut site, stone settings and pre-bog wall. Collapsed dry-stone walls in three groups. To SW, wall runs E-W, c. 60m up E-facing slope; part of crossing wall runs out to N (10m) and S (4m). 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. On N side of complex, attached to ancient field system, arc of embedded stones (H 0.3m) forms W wall (Wth 1m) of circular hut (diam. 4m) (CO091-009003-).

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.

In rough grazing, on the N bank of a stream. A crescent-shaped mound (14m N-S; 7m E-W; H 1.2m) of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil. The opening (Wth 6m) faces E. The mound is densely covered by moor grass and ferns. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).

On a rough boggy terrace, on a SE-facing hillslope punctuated by outcropping rocks on the W side of Borlin Valley. Traces of relict stone field boundaries (T 0.6m; H 0.5m), which protrude above the surface of the bog, occur intermittently in an irregularly shaped area (c. 80m E-W; c. 60m N-S) along the boggy terrace. 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.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
