• CO142-070001 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In rough grazing broken by a rock outcrop, atop a NE-SW ridge. This stone fort, known as Knockdrum, is defined by a circular area (Diam. 22.5m) enclosed by a drystone wall (H 2m; Wth 3m), which was repaired before 1860 (Somerville 1931, 1; see plan opposite page 2). The wall was laid directly on the rocky ground surface. The entrance is to the ENE (Wth 1.4m), and there is a sentry chamber on its N side, roughly rectangular in plan (Wth c. 1.22m; L c. 1.52m; H c. 1.37m). It has a corbelled roof of dry masonry, supporting a large slab. The foundations of a rectangular structure (int. L 5.2m; int. Wth 5.1m) are located off centre to the W. Within the fort are a souterrain (CO142-07002-), cup-marked stone (CO142-070005-) and cross-inscribed slab (CO142-070003-). A second slab with cupmarks (CO142-070004-) lies outside the entrance. This is a National Monument in State Ownership (no. 284) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.

• CO142-070005 Cupmarked stone
  Description

  In interior of cashel (CO142-070001-) leaning against inner face of wall to E. Stone fragment (H 1.05m; 0.5m x 0.1m) with at least ten cupmarks. Described by Somerville (1931, 9) as 'holed-stone of which the hole had been about 4" in diameter but the hole is now broken across'. Finlay (1973, 112-13) notes stone may be 'more broken now than when examined by Somerville,as the hole feature is not obvious. Example of rock art (CO142-070004-) at entrance to cashel. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992).

Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009 Within interior of Knockdrum stone fort (CO142-070001-) (130m OD), adjacent to E of rectangular house site. This vantage point has extensive views of Castle Haven inlet to E, the Atlantic seaboard SE->S->SW, Skiddy Island to SE and Horse Island to S. A smooth and unfractured shale stone (dims. 1.04m NE-SW; 0.44m NW-SE; T 0.11m) having a rectangular decorated surface (dims. 0.92m NE-SW; 0.33m NW-SE). This stone bears ten cupmark (dims.2.5-6cm; D 3-10mm) across its flat upper surface. According to Somerville (1931, 9) another stone in this vicinity, described as a 'holed-stone’, was destroyed sometime after 1913. The hole had been about 4" in diameter, however sometime between 1913 and 1930, the stone had broken across the hole, leaving only half the stone with a semi-circular perforation. An example of rock art (CO142-070004-) is located outside entrance to the stone fort. Compiled by: Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly Date of upload: 7 July 2017
