Description
In pasture on N-facing slope. Irregular stone aligned NE-SW (H 1.1m; 1.45m x 0.75m). Myler (1998, 105) recorded 'cup and line markings on its south-eastern side'. Myler (ibid) also notes that the NE-SW alignment of the stone is 'common with the majority of the standing stones in this general area'.

In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 29 January 2013

In pasture on N-facing slope. Rectangular stone aligned N-S (H 4.4m; 1.4m x 0.7m). Myler (1998, 106) notes that this is the largest standing stone in the Mealagh Valley and that 'this stone was rumoured to have had markings on it and it is said that a piece of the gallaun was knocked off when it was hit by a bolt of lightning'. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 29 January 2013

Bank stone-faced in parts; berm on inner face may be due to slippage; gap (Wth 2.6m) in N bank. Souterrain (CO119-003002-) in interior. Surrounding field fences removed. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992).

- CO119-104 Enclosure
Description
On a rise, on a terrace of rough grazing on bog, on a N-facing hillslope. An oval area (23m WSW-ENE; 18m NNW-SSE) is enclosed by leaning and largely collapsed stone slabs (up to 2m x 1m x 0.15m T) displaying traces of a wall (Wth 1.5m) consisting of an inner and outer row of contiguous slabs SW-NW. Elsewhere, a scarp (H 0.1-1m) with occasional stone inclusions indicates the perimeter. The interior, which is in pasture, is slightly uneven and contrasts with the otherwise moor-grass/heather-covered hillside. There are field boundaries (CO119-105----) c. 50m to the S. Myler (1998, 108) noted that 'there is an inner raised area in the western half (of the enclosure), partly defined by stones. At the lowest eastern point is a possible entrance, which opens out radially into an area of flat dry ground marked out with low stones. There is a small cairn of stones 15 yards east of the enclosure in this area...there were until recently three small standing stones in a line 35 yards to the south-east beside a boggy stream'. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 29 January 2013
- CO119-105 Field boundary
Description
In rough grazing, on bog, on a N-facing hillslope overlooking the valley of the Mealagh River. Intermittent traces of relict, mainly curvilinear, stone field boundaries (T 0.6m; H 0.5m), protrude intermittently above the surface of the bog and extend over a roughly rectangular area (c. 400m E-W; c. 250m N-S) along the hillside. Most of the upright slabs are set at right angles to the line of the stone walls. A pre-bog field boundary (L 6m; H 0.6m), exposed through turf-cutting on the E face of the bog, was noted towards the centre of the area. There is an enclosure (CO119-104----) c. 50m to the N. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
