What is recorded here

Fosse (D 0.5m) survives on S side, with counterscarp bank (H 0.6m). Bank appears to continue on W side of road, but not possible to examine due to overgrowth. Boundary stone (CO056-008---) at E end. May be continuation of 'auld ditch' (CO055-054---) recorded by Bateman (1716-1717) c. 800m further W along county boundary. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
