What is recorded here

Rossnashunsoge holds three burnt mounds and two stone markers within a hundred metres, proving the valley served repeated ceremonial or domestic heat rather than a single kitchen. The main horseshoe faces the stream, its shattered rocks and charcoal soil waiting for water that may have steamed meat, cloth or bodies. Gorse and holly now occupy the mound, turning ancient fire into green shelter while the nearby stones preserve the shape of human intention.

In rough grazing, on the E bank of a stream and within a network of field boundaries (CO090-026001-). A horseshoe-shaped mound (14m N-S; 8m E-W; H 1.4m) of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil. The opening (Wth 3m) faces the stream to the W. Gorse bushes and holly trees grow on the mound. A fulacht fia (CO090-026006-) and a burnt mound (CO090-026007-) lie c. 20m and c. 60m to the SSE, respectively. A standing stone (CO090-008001-) and a radial stone cairn (CO090-008002-) lie c. 110m to the W. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.
