Enclosure in Cloontreem

In rough hill pasture, on a terrace within an area of pre-bog walls (CO115-090001-) on a W-facing slope in Cloontreem valley. A circular area (14m E-W; 13m N-S) is defined by traces of an inner and outer row of contiguous slabs (Wth 1m; H 0.45m) protruding above the surface of the bog. Most slabs are upright and the remainder are either leaning or fallen. A large boulder is incorporated into the wall at NE. A 2m wide gap at NNE may indicate the entrance. Rushes obscure most of the level interior. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
