• CO147-069 Megalithic tomb - wedge tomb
  Description

  On a level shoulder on a SE-facing slope overlooking Crook Haven harbour. The remains can be interpreted as a collapsed chamber, orientated NE-SW, with a roofstone (2.2m x 2m; T 0.25m) resting above a number of slabs which may represent single N and S sidestones with two possible outer-wall stones protruding from under the S side; no evidence of a backstone or mound is visible. While the exact nature of this feature remains uncertain, interpretation as the remains of a megalithic tomb, possibly of the wedge-tomb class, seems likely. A wedge tomb (CO147-045----) with a similar orientation is located 55m to the SW and a standing stone (CO147-074----) is located 180m to the N.

  Description

  In rough pasture which is overgrown with ferns. A stone, comprising a single cupmark, is recorded in this location.

Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

• CO147-072 Cupmarked stone
  Description

  In rough pasture, on an E-facing slope, to the rear of a farm building. Three cupmarks (max. diam. 0.05m; max. D 0.02m) are visible on the almost flat upper surface of an earth-fast slab (2.6m E-W; 2.2m N-S; H 0.3m at its NE corner) which protrudes just above ground level.

• CO147-085 Enclosure
  Description

  In rough pasture, in the NW corner of a field on a SE-facing slope overlooking Crookhaven. The remains of an enclosure (diam. c. 12m) consisting of a roughly triangular area defined by an arc of a scarp (H 0.7m) E-WSW and by linear stone field boundaries on its straight NW and SE sides. The scarp is revetted by stones of varying size at irregular intervals. Some of the stones lean outwards and two radially set stones at SE may indicate an entrance feature. Briars and gorse bushes cover the field boundaries and encroach on the interior, especially in the NW corner. No remains of the enclosure were visible at ground level outside the field boundaries.
