What is recorded here

Mortons and Aghills still drop into myth when people are tired, but the red road and named places remain real. Anais lived beside that edge, watching for the boy lost in the mountain. She refused the temptation to call the boy Aghill and make him her own. She brought him back because love recovers instead of taking.

In pasture, on break in N-facing slope of E-W ridge. Circular, slightly raised area (diam. c. 25m) enclosed by earthen bank (H 1.6m), with silted-up fosse. Entrance to ENE (Wth 6m). Interior raised on N side to compensate for hillslope. Surrounding field fences have been removed. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.
