Linear earthwork in Knockglass

A section of the Cork-Limerick county boundary (L c. 1.5km) is termed the Cliadh Dubh' on the 1924 OS six-inch map, running between Vein Bridge and Glenagaphul. This consists of two parallel earthen banks (c. 12m apart) running along the N side of a public road. Both are constructed earth banks (H c. 1.1m; Wth 1.5m) similar to the surrounding field boundaries, overgrown with scrub, thorn and gorse. Sections of the roadside bank have been replaced in places by recent fencing, and both are interrupted by roads, farm passages and roadside dwellings. The area between the boundaries is largely under pasture, but shorter sections are covered by trees and bushes. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 29 August 2012
