What is recorded here

Headland projecting SW from Cape Clear. Westropp (1915, 253) noted remains of fosse with stone wall on seaward side at neck of promontory. He also noted remains of circular hut site (CO153-014001-) in interior. The promontory is now a long, narrow spine of rock, with no soil cover; eroding rapidly by sea. No visible trace of wall or fosse. 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
