• CO027-212001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In tillage, near the edge of a gently sloping plateau, overlooking the Funshion River valley. The ground level drops steeply a short distance to the S, to the valley floor. A curving field boundary (C 39m) SSW-NNW, indicated on the 1934 OS 6-inch map, suggests a rath associated with a souterrain (CO027-212002-). This field boundary and others in the vicinity have been removed and there are no visible remains of the possible rath. (pers. comm. Eamonn Cotter) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

• CO027-212002 Souterrain
  Description

  In a possible rath (CO027-212002-). A drystone-built beehive-shaped chamber with a corbelled roof was discovered here during silage cutting when the apex of the roof collapsed. The chamber was partially filled with earth. An opening to the S, which was only partially visible, probably leads to a second chamber or passage but this was inaccessible. (pers. comm.
