• CO102-049 Field boundary
  Description

  In rough hill pasture, on a SE-facing slope. Intermittent traces of relict stone field boundaries (T 0.2-0.6m; H 0.1-0.75m) protrude above the surface of the bog cover in a roughly rectangular area (c. 100m NNW-SSE x c. 25m ENE-WSW). The walls are generally curvilinear and feature sections where upright slabs are set end-on; some of these slabs are leaning or have fallen. Other sections consist of large stones that are mainly obscured by gorse. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

• CO102-050 Hut site
  Description

  In rough hill pasture, on a level break to the W of a river, on a SW-facing boggy slope. The remains of a D-shaped hut site (2.5m N-S) defined by a grass and rush-covered bank (Wth 0.7m; H 0.3m) of earth and stone along the straight S side (L 4.3m) and elsewhere by upright slabs (T 0.1m; H 0.5m). The bank varies in height along the S side. Some of the slabs lean towards the interior. Rushes obscure the entire hut site. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

• CO102-051 Field boundary
  Description

  In rough hill pasture, on a gentle S-facing boggy slope. The remains of relict stone field boundaries (T 0.3-0.65m; H 0.1-0.35m) protrude intermittently above the surface of the bog in a roughly rectangular area (c. 130m NE-SW x c. 40m NW-SE). The walls are generally curvilinear and feature short sections where upright slabs are set at right angles to the line of the wall. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

• CO102-052 Enclosure
  Description

  In rough hill pasture, on a NE-facing slope at the E end of the Coomacheo River valley. A roughly circular area (int. 7.4m N-S; 6.6m E-W) is defined by the remains of a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.55m; H 0.45m) now in a jumbled state. The larger base stones are protruding from the bog and some stones are scattered in the interior, which slopes down to the NE. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

  Description

  In rough hill pasture, with occasional outcropping rock on a S-facing boggy slope. The remains of a D-shaped hut site (2.4m E-W) defined by a curving stone wall (T 0.45m; H 0.2m) with a straight W side (L 3.1m) formed by the linear face of outcropping rock. The stones of the wall protrude above the surface of the bog. The level interior is raised (H 0.15m) at the S and cut (D 0.2m) into the upslope at N to compensate for the hillslope. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

• CO102-058001 Hut site
  Description

  In rough pasture, at the confluence of two rivers. The remains of a rectangular hut site (3.8m N-S; 2.4m E-W) defined by a partially eroded grass-covered bank (Wth 0.6m; H 0.1-0.7m) which varies in height and contains several breaks. A gap at the NW corner may be the location of the entrance. Rushes obscure the interior. Another hut site (CO102-058002-) is 2m to the E.

• CO115-006 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In rough grazing, on break in W-facing slope. Circular raised area (21m N-S; 21m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (H 1.2m) with external fosse (D 0.2m) S->E. Entrance (Wth 1.7m) to SE, defined by pair of orthostats on each side. 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

• CO115-078 Hut site
  Description

  In rough hill pasture, on bog, on the N bank of the Kealincha River. The jumbled remains of an oval hut site (8m NE-SW; 6.8m NW-SE) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.65m; H 0.4m), which includes some large stones in its lower courses. Rubble is scattered internally and externally and the entire hut site is obscured by rushes. A rath (CO115-006----) and a network of pre-bog field boundaries (CO115-079----) are at the opposite bank of the river, c. 60m to the SE. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

• CO115-079 Field boundary
  Description

  In rough hill pasture, on bog, on a W-facing slope. A network of relict stone field boundaries (max. T 0.6m; max. H 0.55m) protrudes intermittently above the surface of the bog in a roughly rectangular area (c. 380m ENE-WSW; c. 150m NNW-SSE). Turf-cutting shows that the bog is 0.2-1m deep. Traces of walls were also noted in the cutaway bog, where the base stones are set on the underlying mineral soil. This suggests that most of the walls in this area are pre-bog field boundaries. At the WSW end of the network, walls protrude from the bog and radiate out from a rath (CO115-006----) and appear to be associated with it. There is a hut site (CO115-078----) on the opposite bank of the river, c. 60m to the NW. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
