What is recorded here
In rough grazing on bog, on a gentle W-facing slope to the E of the cliff-tops on the E side of Cooncrome Harbour. The remains of a mainly curvilinear stone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.3m) protrude intermittently above the surface of the bog and extend (L c. 100m) in a W direction almost as far as the cliffs. Many stones are leaning and the slab-type stones are set at right angles to the line of the wall. (O'Sullivan and Sheehan 1996, 410, no. 1340)
