What is recorded here

Kilberrihert holds a circular enclosure fifty metres from a wedge tomb, its low earth and stone bank marking a boundary someone drew before history began. The eastern gap invites entry rather than keeps out, suggesting the circle served life instead of hiding death. Perhaps people gathered there to face the tomb, share food or witness a ritual under an open sky. The broken bank still points east, preserving the direction of that forgotten invitation.

On N side of Cooper's Rock, c. 50m ENE of wedge tomb (CO060-115----). Circular area (diam. c. 13m) enclosed by earth and stone bank (H 0.5m). Break in bank to E. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
