Recorded monuments

• CO066-009 Ogham stone
  Description

  Formerly acting as the jamb of a cart-house door in a farmyard. A slate slab (H 5ft 8in; 2ft x 51/2in) with the top broken off. Part of the inscription was buried when it was read by Macalister (1945, 82, no. 79) and Barry (1897, 43). The opposing jamb may have been part of the same stone, or of similar provenance. The inscription reads as follows: ELUNA MUC……RAN; the extra three letters run along the top. The first three strokes of the R are damaged but the A is clear and the first three strokes of the N are faint but legible. No other letters are discernible (pers. comm. Fionnbarr Moore, 17 April 2015). Macalister and O'Kelly (1944, 9) imply that the ogham stone is from a souterrain (CO066-01002-) in Rathcanning fort (CO066-01001-) c. 450m to the N, in which a possible ogham fragment was also found (CO066-053----). Barry, however, states that the slab had been in position at the time of his visit for 80 years and had been taken from a souterrain 'in the next field' (CO066-00054---). This stone is in the National Museum of Ireland storage facility at Daingean, Co. Offaly (OF018-198----). (Power et al. 1994, no. 4235) Compiled by: Nora White Date of upload: 19 March 2016

• CO066-010001 Hilltop enclosure
  Description

  In commanding position, on highest point of E-W ridge and enclosing hilltop. Subcircular area (72.4m N-S; 86.5m E-W) enclosed by earth and stone bank (H 2.8m); entrance (Wth c. 2m), to ENE, partially blocked by large sandstone block and revetted on N side by second block. Interior rises towards hill summit in centre; at WSW side of interior earthen arc of bank (H 1.1m) cuts off oval ara (24.3m NW-SE; 21.6m NE-SW). Souterrain(CO066-01002-) in centre. (O'Kelly 1945, 18-20) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009

• CO066-010002 Souterrain
  Description

  In centre of hill-top enclosure (CO066-01001-). Noted by O'Kelly (1945, 19) as 'an elongated hollow' indicating 'the position of a collapsed souterrain'. This hollow is still noticeable. O'Kelly states that an ogham stone (CO066-009---) was found used as a roofing slab in this souterrain but Barry (1897, 41-4), who first described the ogham stone does not imply this. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994).

• CO066-053 Ogham stone
  Description

  Found on the crown of a hill with good views in all directions, inside Rathcanning fort (COO66-01001-). A lump of stone (9in; 4in x 4in), read by Macalister (1945, 82, no. 80) as bearing the end of an M and other marks 'not so certainly intended as letters'. This fragment was rescued by him 'from the wall of the ....fort' and is now in the National Museum of Ireland, Dublin (DU018-162----). A second ogham stone (CO066-009----) was implied by Macalister (1945, 82, no. 79) to have come from the souterrain (CO066-01002-) in this fort. However, the earliest account of this stone states that it came from another souterrain S of Rathcanning, closer to where it was found re-used in a farmyard.
