• CO103-003004 Bullaun stone
  Description

  On S side of road to E of graveyard (CO103-003001-). Large triangular sandstone boulder (1.85m x 2.m). Circular hollow (diam. 0.4m; D 0.23m) on upper surface. Known as Toberatemple (well of the church) (O'Donoghue 1986, 304). According to Brady (1863, 2, 493) "in the hollow of this stone...the country people bathe their eyes, when sore, in expectation of a cure...at each round they throw into the hollow a bit of rush formed into a cross. They afterwards suspend a piece of rag on a bush over the stone, in memorial of their devotions." The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.

• CO103-003006 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In rough overgrown pasture, in a valley surrounded by hills, except to the S where there are views over Bantry Bay. Only an arc (dims. c. 25m S-WSW) of an earthen bank (Wth 2.6m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 1m) is visible above ground in the NE corner of a field which, according to local information, is the remains of a rath (diam. c. 20m). Any other surviving traces of the rath may be obscured by the dense overgrowth in the area. Kilcaskan graveyard, church and ogham stone (CO103-003001-, CO103-003002-, CO103-003003-) lie c. 100m to the SW and possible hut sites (CO103-003007-) and a holy well (CO103-003005-) are located c. 60m and c. 70m to the SW and SSE, respectively.

• CO103-003007 Hut site
  Description

  In 1992 several mounds, 'some round, some rectangular' were recorded in this field on the NE side of Kilcaskan Graveyard (CO103-003001-).

According to local tradition, they were the remains of 'monks cells' when St. Caskan had a monastery here. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.

• CO103-021002 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In pasture, on the summit of a NE-SW ridge surrounded by hills except to the S where there are views of Bantry Bay. A circular enclosure (diam. 18.5m) defined by a wall which consists of an inner and outer circle of mainly large stones (T 1.25m; H 0.7m), with an infill of smaller stones. Field clearance has added a further collection of stones, both large and small, which are placed intermittently and haphazardly on top of and along both sides of the original wall. The level interior is in pasture. There are gaps in the wall at E and W, but no clear evidence of an original entrance. A stone row (CO103-017----) lies c. 100m to the NW.

• CO103-021003 Field boundary
  Description

  In rough pasture on bog, in an area surrounded by hills except at the S from where Bantry Bay is visible. A series of stones, extending in a general N-S direction and representing a relict stone field boundary, were recorded in this area in January 1992. However, in more recent times during the course of land reclamation this area has been drained and the stones, which were protruding above the surface of the bog have been removed and placed in two heaps near the edge of the bog. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
