What is recorded here

No god is named, but two holy wells flank the causeway like sentinels. The oval pasture stands slightly raised above the surrounding ground, bounded by a shallow fosse and entered through a NE gap. People may have walked that causeway to drink, pray or mark a boundary, leaving no stone behind but shaping the land into a room for ceremony or memory.

In pasture, on S-facing slope. Slightly raised oval area (66.1m N-S; 45.7m E-W) enclosed by fosse (D 1.1m). Causeway across fosse to NE. Interior level and raised slightly (c. 0.3m) above surrounding ground level. Holy wells (CO097-005--- and CO097-007---) to NE and NW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
