Recorded monuments

• CO093-025 Enclosure
  Description

  On lower SE-facing slope of Shehy mountains. Roughly circular area (diam. c.24m) defined by stone bank (ext. H 0.8m; Wth 3.5m) SSW->NNE; overgrown scarp NNE->SSW (possibly quarried in places). Interior heavily overgrown with briars and ferns. 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

• CO093-113 House - 18th/19th century
  Description

  Small rectangular house or cabin which has been partially built into the base of a south facing slope. It is orientated NE-SW with internal measurements of 4.6m L by 2.45m W with a maximum height of 1.7m at the W gable. The rear (N) wall is almost completely dug into the slope with just a single course of stones at ground level. The front wall is built up to a H of c.1m with a 0.8m wide door opening in it. It is sheltered to the west by a large boulder and faces a small stream to the south. Though probably only constructed in the 19th Century this building is of interest as it appears to be an example of a type of cabin the very poorest in society would have built, possibly for temporary farm labourers.
