What is recorded here

Two stone rings sit six metres apart on an east-facing slope in County Cork, one slightly larger than the other, buried under grass and gorse. They are not temples or tombs in any guidebook, only unclassified marks inside old field boundaries. Yet someone chose that exact spot, lifted heavy stones from the bog edge, and arranged them while the land was still alive. The gap between the rings may have measured a shadow, a breath, or a boundary nobody wrote down.

In rough hill pasture, in an area of cutaway bog, on an E-facing slope and within a network of relict field boundaries (CO115-106004-). This circular cairn (diam. 2.4m; H 0.7m) consists of smaller stones in the core and larger stones along the perimeter and on the top. It is partially obscured by grass and gorse-covered sod. Another cairn (CO115-106009-) is c. 6m to the W. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
