Recorded monuments

• CO116-001 Standing stone
  Description

  On small natural rise of ground with view to S. Rectangular stone aligned NE-SW (H 3.1m; 2.25m x 0.55m). 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

• CO116-043 Cairn - unclassified
  Description

  In blanket bog, near the E edge of the relatively flat summit of Hungry Hill. This subcircular cairn (7.5m E-W; 6.4m N-S; max. H 1.2m), which protrudes above the bog, consists of stones that vary in both shape and size. Loose stones to the E of the cairn appear to have been removed from the centre, where there is now a depression. Some large stone slabs were also noted in this area. The stones in the depression are lying in a haphazard state. An Ordnance Survey triangulation pillar is situated c. 170m to the ENE. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

• CO116-047 Cairn - unclassified
  Description

  On partially peat-covered bedrock, in a rough mountain pasture area, on the S summit of Hungry Hill. The remains of a circular cairn (diam. c. 8m) are indicated by a variety of stones which protrude (H 0.1m) NW-S from the shallow peat. Elsewhere the bedrock is exposed. A more recent cylinder-shaped cairn (diam. 4m; H 2m) occupies the SW half of the original cairn. This more recent cairn is known as 'Lord Bantry's Pile' and was erected in the 18th-19th century as a navigation aid for sailing ships entering Bantry Bay. It is likely that stones from the older cairn were reused to build the substantial modern cairn. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
