## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- CO131-053: Rock art, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCO131-053----. On a natural ridge of rock that extends in an E-W direction and which is largely obscured by gorse bushes. This rock was described in March 1994 as featuring 'cup and circles' (SMR file). This entire length of the exposed rock surface at the location indicated was examined and no trace of the 'cup and circles' was found. The surrounding area was also searched and only natural features were noted. Enquiries locally failed to locate this possible rock art. 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 rough, improved pasture (75m OD), on S side of a rock outcrop. Mount Gabriel is clearly visible to SW. Not located; Area obscured by dense overgrowth and not seen. Large, oblong expanse of rock outcrop across this area, however no motifs were visible. Another area of rock outcrop adjacent to E is covered by thick mosses and grasses which are too dense to investigate. According to Dose (21/03/1994), this rock art example was located on top of a ridge and the decorative elements consisted of cup-and-ring motifs. Ronan et al (2009, 43) indicates that this rock art was not located during a field survey in 2005. Compiled by: Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly Date of upload: 13 July 2017
- CO131-054: Standing stone, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCO131-054----. On an E-W rocky ridge, largely obscured by gorse bushes. According to local information, a possible standing stone is situated at this location and is visible from the adjacent road. However, following an extensive inspection of the area, only natural features were noted. There is no visible trace of this possible standing stone. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
- CO131-055: Rock art, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCO131-055----. On an E-W ridge of outcropping rock which is partially covered with heather and gorse, overlooking Mount Gabriel to the W. Three weathered cup-and-ring motifs are visible on the rock surface. The E motif is a cup (diam. 0.05m; D 0.02m) and two rings. The larger example, 0.018m to the W of the previous one, consists of an oval cup (0.12m E-W; 0.07m N-S; D 0.015m) and three rings. To the SE of the latter and partially obscured by a heather-covered sod is a cup (diam. 0.04m; D 0.015m) and two rings. Striations run E-W through the rock and pocked solution pits occur throughout the surface, which slopes gently to the W. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009 On a gentle W-facing slope of a ridge (long-axis E-W) (77m OD), at S edge of coniferous forestry plantation. A bend in a drystone field wall is c. 3m to SW and a forest trackway is c. 10.75m to N. Views of surrounding landscape are largely obscured by forestry. According to photos in SMR file, there was previously a good view of Mount Corrin to W and there was probably an equally good view of Mount Gabriel to SW. Monument was completely obscured by vegetation, however it was identified under moss using previous photos in SMR file which show the adjacent drystone wall arrangement and a white marker stone. A slightly rough and unfractured expanse of sandstone rock outcrop which has natural striations (long-axis E-W) and pocked solution pits across the surface. The decorated surface (dims. 0.95m NE-SW; 0.90m NW-SE) has a very gentle W-facing aspect and bears three decorative elements which are weathered, yet traceable. A large, oval cup-and-two-ring motif (dims. 39cm x 35cm; ring Wth 2-3cm; D 2-3mm; cup dims. 15cm x 10cm; D 10mm) is located in the centre of the decorated surface. A smaller, oval cup-and-two-ring motif (dims. 30cm x 27cm; ring Wth 1.5-2.5cm; D 2-3mm; cup dims. 10cm x 7.5cm; D 10mm) is c. 0.2m to SE. A possible oval cupmark (dims. 8cm x 6cm; D 10mm) is c. 27cm to WSW of the large cup-and-two-ring motif. It is probable that other motifs exist under the moss. An elongated and two suboval solution marks are adjacent to S. Compiled by: Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly Date of upload: 13 July 2017

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.
