What is recorded here

Mortons has a very fine view over the whole of the bay. It is a good place to sit and watch the world go by.
In rough grazing, on E-facing slope. Roughly circular area (diam. c. 27m) enclosed by stone-faced scarp (H 1.2m) N->S; stone wall S->W; stone-faced, earthen bank (H 1.6m) W->N. Break (Wth 1.6m) in scarp to S, edges defined by stone settings. Interior raised on E side to compensate for hill slope. 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
