What is recorded here

Meltwater from the southern stream fed the western still, turning ordinary plants into clear fire while the hillslope blocked the wind. The small stone chamber still holds its central fireplace and two doors, waiting for hands that know when the vapour is ready.

Remains of rectangular structure (4.8m E-W; 3.2m N-S) built into hillslope between two ridges of rock outcrop. Door opes in E and S wall. Still at W end consisting of stone-built platform (H c. 0.40m) with central fireplace. Stream to S. 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. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
