What is recorded here

In pasture, on gentle ESE-facing slope; possible ringbarrow (CO021-028---) c. 60m to NNW. Circular raised area (diam. 5m; H 0.5m) enclosed by shallow fosse (D 0.2m). Low undulations to NW and SE may indicate former presence of external bank. Bowman (1934, 467) gives diameter of interior as 25ft (7.62m). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). 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 circular form and enclosing fosse suggest a funerary monument of regional significance in a landscape with potential for multiple associated barrows.

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