Enclosure

What is recorded here

On a rise in the lower W-facing peaty slopes of Miskish Mountain with views NW to Coulagh Bay. A circular area (8.8m E-W; 8.6m N-S) is defined by a low bank (Wth 1.4m; H 0.1-0.35m) with occasional stone inclusions. A leaning and a fallen stone at SE indicate the entrance (Wth 0.5m). A dense cover of rushes obscures the level interior and the bank. A field system (CO114-071001-) is c. 60m to the NE. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
