What is recorded here

Inside the ancient rath at Cahermore, a rectangular hut shadow stretches seven point nine by eight point four metres across the earth. The stones still mark a small chamber where people may have breathed, cooked or hidden during storms. Its exact age has faded, but the shape remains clear enough to imagine life moving through it.
In a rath (CO134-041001-). Remains of rectangular hut site (7.9m x 8.4m) in interior. 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
