Recorded monuments
- CO106-040 Standing stone
Description
Site not located due to heavy afforestation. Myler (1998, 78) records that 'this stone stands near the western edge of the woodland south of the road. It has a NE-SW axis and measures 8 ft. high, 4 ft. wide and 1.5 ft. in thickness'. 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
- CO106-089 Hut site
Description
In rough grazing, on a W-facing slope, within a recently harvested coniferous wood. Myler (1998, 78) records the 'remains of a circle of stones measuring 20ft. [6.1m] in diameter' at this location. Following an extensive search of the area, the hut site could not be located. It is probably masked by the decaying wood clearance debris and recent growth. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

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: 14 January 2009
