• CO117-008001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on a hillock on the NW bank of a river with restricted views due to trees. A circular area (diam. c. 20m) is enclosed by occasional traces of an eroded earthen bank (Wth c. 2m; H 0.1m). The entire rath, including the sloping flanks of the hillock, has been disturbed. The disturbed surface of the interior is uneven and on it mature holly and oak trees are growing. The flanks of the hillock are obscured by gorse. A souterrain (CO117-008002-) is located near the centre of the interior. According to local information, this is known as a 'fort'. Another rath and souterrain (CO117-009001-, CO117-009002-) are located c. 130m 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

• CO117-008002 Souterrain
  Description

  In a rath (CO117-008001-). An opening (Wth 1.2m; H 0.8m) near the centre of the rath leads down into an earth-cut chamber (min. L 1.5m) with a rounded roof. This chamber is inaccessible due to a pile-up of earth dug out by badgers. Depressions and an area of collapse indicate that the souterrain runs in a SW direction for at least 12m. Local people recall crawling through this souterrain as children as far as an exit on the bank of a nearby river, c. 15m 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

• CO117-009001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on a hillock on the E bank of a river with views W-E. A circular area (23m N-S; 21m E-W) is enclosed by the remains of two earthen banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank (Wth 3.8m; int. H 0.45m; ext. H 1.6m to the base of the fosse) is evident SE-SW and N-ENE. Some stone inclusions were noted in this bank at N and a large boulder lies beside its inner face, also at N. The fosse (Wth 1.6m; D 0.4m from outer ground level) is evident SE-WNW and N-ENE. The outer bank, which also has stone inclusions, is evident SW-WNW where the ground slopes down to the river bank. The interior of the rath is partially covered by rushes. A possible souterrain (CO117-009002-) is located near the centre of the interior. Another rath and souterrain (CO117-008001-, CO117-008002-) are located c. 130m to the SW.
