- CO138-029001: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCO138-029001-. In pasture, on an E-W terrace on a N-facing slope overlooking Bantry Bay. A circular area (diam. 10.5m) is defined by the remains of a stone wall (T 1.3m; H 0.5m) displaying traces of an inner and outer row of large stones with a fill of smaller stones. A stone slab (H 1.15m; L 0.5m; T 0.4m) narrowing as it rises stands on the external perimeter at E. The wall remains are generally in a jumbled state and are largely covered by gorse, briars and long grass. The interior is also covered by overgrowth, which hides a scatter of rubble from the walls. The N portion of the interior has been raised (H 0.5m) to compensate for the hillslope. There is evidence of field-clearance rubble in a few places inside the perimeter. There is a standing stone (CO138-029002-) c. 10m to the S of the enclosure. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

In pasture, on an E-W terrace on a N-facing slope overlooking Bantry Bay. This standing stone (0.75m x 0.2m; H 0.75m) is roughly rectangular in plan and is orientated NE-SW.

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.
