What is recorded here

Rossagh East and Rossagh West hold a hidden cromlech, forgotten by local memory and lost to exact coordinates. Jones recorded the tomb in 1910, but the stones have vanished or merged into the land, leaving behind a gap where dead people and their mourners once stood. The absence is sharper than a ruin because even the shape is gone.

Jones (1910, 53) records 'cromlech' in townland of 'Rossagh'. Not known locally; exact location of site not known. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009

Megalithic tomb, likely Neolithic in date. Its wider significance is not recorded due to lack of precise location and local recognition.
