What is recorded here

Depicted on 1842 OS 6-inch map as roughly triangular area, defined by broken line cut by roadway on E-W axis. According to Power (1918, 230) 'An Faithchin -"The Little Green"' is an 'untilled space' locally known as 'an ancient cemetery' with line of 'enclosing fence still faintly traceable'. Field on N side of road ploughed in recent years and according to local information,"humps and bumps" flatted out. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
