What is recorded here
Coonane holds a circular hut sixty metres from a wedge tomb, proving the dead and living shared one narrow bog terrace. Its stone-revetted edge still resists the swamp, preserving a small domestic world beside ancient burial.
On bog, on a terrace within a network of relict field boundaries (CO091-010012-). The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 6.5m) defined by a bank (Wth 1m; H 0.15m) through which stones protrude intermittently. As the hut is on the edge of the terrace, the external face of the enclosing element E-SW is revetted (H 0.3m) with stone. A wedge tomb (CO091-010007-) is c. 60m to the SSE.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
