What is recorded here

Oughtihery holds a thirty-seven metre stone ring where human hands shaped earth into a boundary centuries before written memory. Pasture grass grows inside the bank, but the circular line remains clear enough to walk without hesitation. A dark passage may still cut through the ground beneath the grass, waiting for someone brave enough to stop pretending the field is empty.

In pasture. Circular area (diam. 37m) defined by earth and stone bank (H 1.5m). Possible Man-made underground passage (CO060-036002-) in interior. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
