What is recorded here

Indicated is a small stone enclosure on a west-facing hillside in County Cork, Ireland. Its uneven walls still stand beside faint cultivation ridges, while a wedge tomb waits half a kilometre north. The place preserves the shape of human labour long after the tools and hands have vanished.

Possible entrance to W. Remains of cultivation ridges cross interior on E-W axis. Wedge tomb (6385) c. 150m to NNW.
