What is recorded here

Two earthen rings stood in Rathcoursey before destruction erased them. One hid three flint arrowheads, proof that human hands shaped the soil before forgetting removed the shape.

According to Power (1940, 102) 'there were formerly two lioses (see CO076-127----) in Rathcoursey but both have been destroyed long since. In one of these....three flint arrowheads were found'. Exact locations not known. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994).
