Recorded monuments
- CO039-068001 Ringfort - rath
Description
In pasture, on break in slope and above sharp fall of ground down to SW. Depicted as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) on 1904 and 1936 OSmaps, bounded on S side by Deer Park wall, which remains standing. Levelled; no visible surface trace. Possibly one of four ringforts recorded in townland by Broker (1937, 49). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
- CO039-069 Enclosure
Description
In pasture, on grounds of Tullig House. Depicted on 1842 OS 6-inch map as one of three circular plantations of trees (9160; 8743); indicated and hachured on 1904 and 1936 OS 6-inch maps respectively as circular enclosure. Circular area (20m N-S) enclosed by low, insubstantial earthen bank (H 1m). Bank and interior planted with trees. Position in relation to Tullig House and insubstantial nature of bank may suggest that this is a tree ring. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
- CO039-070 Enclosure
Description
Shown on 1842 OS 6-inch map as one of three circular plantations of trees (9159; 8743) in 'Deer Park' of Tullig House; on 1936 OS 6-inch map as hachured circularenclosure (diam. c. 30m). In pasture, on steep SW-facing slope. Circular area (diam. 28m) enclosed by low scarp (max. H 1.2m) SSE->NNE, low bank to NE; low outer eroded bank (max. H 0.8m) and shallow intervening fosse (Wth3.5m) SSE->ENE. Interior slopes very steeply downhill from NE to SW. Entire site planted with coniferous trees. Possibly fort recorded by Broker (1937,49) on Michael Riordan's land as 'Beech fort, 1/4 acre, double fence, partly levelled'. Surviving banks are insubstantial; no attempt has been made to level up interior. These factors together with position of site in relation to Tullig House may suggest that this is a tree ring. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
