What is recorded here

Five stones still stand in Carriganimmy, marking a small dwelling that resisted the bog and time. The main circle has partly collapsed, but the eastern and western edges remain clear enough to picture a person moving through a narrow doorway. The smaller circle sits nearby like a forgotten backup plan. Together they suggest a place where someone believed a roof could be built on rock and patience.
On a boggy and rocky area, on a S-facing slope. The remains of a circular hut site (3.4m N-S; 2.95m E-W) defined by intermittent stones. The hut site is best preserved E-W. There is a five-stone circle (CO048-097001-) c. 12m to the SSE. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
