What is recorded here
Barryroe Bay and Drombeg are recorded as one place. The distinction is no longer visible. That is not a gap in the account; it is the shape of the account. What is being claimed is a separate identity for Drombeg, not an invented boundary or a changed name.
In pasture, on N-facing slope. Tradition of burial ground in subrectangular field (c. 20m E-W; c. 18m N-S) adjoining W side of ringfort (CO135-096003-); enclosed to N, S and W by low earthen bank. Mass rock (CO135-096002-) in field. No visible trace of burials.
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.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
