Enclosure in Moskeagh

Enclosure

What is recorded here

No visible trace remains of the enclosure in Moskeagh, though a standing stone still marks the hollow on the SW-facing slope. The first edition Ordnance Survey map drew the boundary around that stone, capturing a shape later erased by pasture or time. Whatever lived inside that circle has vanished, leaving only the stone and the memory of a line drawn across green fields.
In pasture on SW-facing slope. Enclosure around standing stone (CO084-078002-) shown on 1st ed. O.S. map. No visible surface trace. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
