- CO091-015001 Hut site
Description
In rough hill pasture, on a terrace on a W-facing slope. The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 7m) defined by a jumbled stone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.3m) which protrudes above the surface of the shallow bog. Rubble is scattered in the level fern-covered interior and externally along the perimeter. The hut site is sheltered by a large rock to the SE. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
- CO091-015002 Enclosure
Description
In rough hill pasture on bog, covered with moor grass, on a terrace on a W-facing slope overlooking the valley of the Barony River and its surrounding mountains. A circular area (13m N-S; 12m E-W) is defined by the jumbled remains of a stone wall (T 0.8m; H 0.4m) protruding above the surface of the bog. The interior slopes down to the W; there is a fern-covered pile of stones in the E half. The damaged entrance is at NE. Walls radiate from the enclosure at W, NE and SE. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
- CO091-016001 Field boundary
Description
In rough hill pasture, on bog covered with moor grass, on a W-facing slope overlooking Glengarriff Harbour. The remains of a network of mainly collapsed, relict, stone field boundaries (T 0.65m; H 0.4m) protrude above the surface of the bog throughout an area measuring c. 350m N-S x c. 200m E-W. The walls comprise both linear and curvilinear stretches, and occasionally disappear under deeper bog in wet hollow areas. While the walls are generally in a jumbled state, several slabs set upright at right angles to the line of the wall were noted. Two hut sites (CO091-016004-, CO091-016006-), a fulacht fia (CO091-016005-) and a burnt mound (CO091-016007-) are within the network of relict field boundaries. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
- CO091-016002 Enclosure
Description
In rough hill pasture on bog, on a terrace within a network of field boundaries (CO091-016001-) on a W-facing slope overlooking Glengarriff Harbour. A roughly circular area (diam. 12m) is defined by a stone wall (T 1.3m; H 0.5m), on top of which a later roughly built stone wall (T 0.5m; H 0.7m) narrows as it rises. The lower wider courses, protruding from shallow bog, appear to be the remains of the original enclosing element. The upper narrower wall was added in more recent times, probably as a pen for sheep and cattle. The interior is inaccessible due to a dense cover of bushes. Field walls radiate from the enclosure at W, NW and SE. There is a hut site (CO091-016006-) c. 70m to the S and a boulder-burial (CO091-016003) c. 26m to the NW. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
- CO091-016003 Boulder-burial
Description
In rough hill pasture on bog, on the W edge of a terrace on a W-facing slope overlooking Glengarriff Harbour. A boulder (1.35m E-W; 1.15m N-S; H 0.5m) rests on at least three support-stones (H 0.1m), one of which has a pad-stone inserted on top. This boulder-burial lies within a network of field boundaries (CO091-016001-). There is an enclosure (CO091-016002-) c. 26m to the SE.
