What is recorded here

Kilbeg preserves a six-metre stone circle on a northern slope, its low ruined wall holding a standing stone within the line. That much is clear. The missing hut, roof and rooms belong to imagination now. A person may have stood there in rain, watching the valley change light. The stones remain witness, not prison.
In pasture on N-facing slope. Subcircular area (diam. 6m) enclosed by ruined stone wall (H 0.6m); break to SSW. Standing stone (CO143-003002-) incorporated into line of wall to SSE. 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
