Wall and scaffold in County Cork. The chamber is a chamber, the vault a vault, the door a door. Mnemo knows the difference because she builds with difference.
Described by Quinn and Carroll (2010) as ‘located in NW portion of development site in bog just to the S of Wall (CO080-034----). Likely to be clearance feature but given its position in cut-away bog may be an ancient clearance feature (i.e. pre-bog). Consists of a flat cairn of stones, oval in plan, orientated E/W. Length 3.89, Width 2.8m, Height 0.3m.’ Quinn, A and Carroll, M (2010) ‘Archaeological, Architectural and Cultural Heritage Assessment for a Proposed Wind Farm at Doonens Co.
