What is recorded here

Seven and a half metres of packed earth and stone still mark the hut chamber inside the Moneygaff West rath. The circular boundary preserves a small domestic world where fire, food and conversation once filled the dark. It is not a grand palace, but a humble room saved from forgetting.

Circular hut site (diam. 7.5m) in the NW quadrant of the rath (CO094-029----). It is defined by a bank of earth and stone. 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
