Enclosure in Kilmichael (dursey Island) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Clochán Uí Chronacháin is a circular drystone enclosure on the north-facing slopes of Dursey Island, its wall collapsed into rubble and its entrance marked by two upright slabs. The interior was raised at the north and cut at the south to level the hill, while the west and east wall remains were rearranged into two abandoned rectangular turf stands. People may have stacked cutaway bog turf there before letting the stones fall back into the slope, turning a old boundary into a working shelf on the island.

In rough hill pasture, on cutaway bog on the N-facing slopes of Dursey Island. A circular area (12m N-S; 11m E-W) is defined by the remains of a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.8m; H 0.45m). Rubble is scattered in the NE quadrant of the interior and along the exterior, especially downslope to the N. Two upright parallel slabs at E indicate the entrance (Wth 0.7m). The interior has been raised (H 0.5m) at N and cut into the bank at S (D 0.3m) to compensate for the hillslope. At W and E the wall remains have been rearranged to make two, now abandoned, rectangular turf stands for stacking turf) each measuring c. 12m N-S and 2m E-W. It is known locally as 'Clochán Uí Chronacháin'. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
