Enclosure in Carriganimmy — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Musherabeg’s ridge still holds a sixty-five metre stone circle, two huts and a standing stone inside a broken wall. The enclosure marks a place where people gathered, watched the sky or kept something sacred away from ordinary traffic. Its missing wall does not weaken it; it suggests the boundary was never meant to be obvious.

In rough hill grazing on a peaty terrace on the SE-facing slopes of a ridge extending SW from Musherabeg. The remains of a semicircular stone wall (T 0.8m; H 0.3m) NNW-SSE protrudes above the surface of the bog and appear to be part of a possible enclosure (diam. 65m) around a stone circle (CO048-097001-), a standing stone (CO048-097002-) and a hut site (CO048-097004-). There are no visible remains of the wall SSE-NNW where the ground is uneven and there are occasional low outcropping rocks. A second hut site (CO048-097007-) abuts the inner face of the enclosure wall at SE. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.
