What is recorded here

In pasture. Depicted as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 10m) on 1842 OS 6-inch map. Levelled; no visible surface trace. According to Hartnett (1939, 285), site 'still faintly traceable....appears to have been a small ring-barrow'. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
A ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its significance lies in its representation of early funerary practices and landscape use in the region, though its current status as levelled limits further archaeological interpretation.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
