• CO118-031001 Ecclesiastical enclosure
  Description

  Situated close to the summit of a low hill overlooking Bantry Bay. Included as an early ecclesiastical site by Hurley (1980, 61). Large, roughly circular enclosure visible as shadow site in aerial photograph by Dr. D.D.C. Pochin Mould (1981, 107). Traces of the levelled enclosure are discernible on the ground, mainly to the N of the cross fragment (CO118-031003-). Burial ground (CO118-031002-) and bullaun stone (CO118-031004-) in centre of interior. Four shaped, deeply-grooved stones were noted within the enclosure which Hourihan and Hourihan (1979, 72) suggest may have 'functioned as hinge-stones/corner stones in some form of structure no longer in existence'. Similar stone noted in Caheravart early ecclesiastical enclosure (CO102-024002-). 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

• CO118-031006 Bullaun stone
  Description

  This monument was reported to the Archaeological Survey of Ireland by Tony Miller on 28th January 2013. he describes the stone as follows: "It is situated c. 6m. north-east of the cross shaft and sits on top of the central, early Christian enclosure and burial ground (CO118-031001-). However, I visited this site recently and noted that this bullaun is cut into the surface of a circular shaped piece of masonry, possibly connected with the other pieces at the site or maybe even a partially broken millstone. Only excavation would make it definitive but the exposed part of the bullaun does appear circular with a regular thickness of c. 0.18m and c. 0.75m in diameter."
