Recorded monuments
- CO054-055 Standing stone
Description
In pasture on S-facing slope. Stone (L 2m; 1m x 0.6m) removed from original position and now lying in field fence nearby. It stood 'about five feet six inches high' in 1897 (Franklin 1897, 383). 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
- CO054-056001 Enclosure
Description
In pasture, on S-facing slope. Two parallel flat-topped stones (axis NW-SE) stand 1.8m apart (NE stone: H 1.4m; 0.7m x 0.3m; SW stone: H 1.3m; 0.9m x 0.4m). Displaced slab (L 2.4m; 2.1m x 0.3m) leans against upright stones on SW side. Running SW for c. 8m towards field fence low mound or bank (Wth c.4m; H c. 0.4m) with line of low upright stones along NW and SE edges. This may be feature referred to by Franklin (1897, 383) as 'avenue of stones'; he considered the site to be remains of 'Cromlech' but more probably remains of enclosure entrance. The attachment of church name (CO054-056002-) to site on OS 6-inch map may be cartographic error and more likely refers to enclosure c. 3000m to NNE (CO054-057001-).
