What is recorded here

Mashanaglass is a levelled rectangular moated site in County Cork, preserved only through map hachures and a lost stone bank. It sat beside a stream valley and horizontal-wheeled mill, suggesting water, grain and human labour all belonged to the same place. The land has erased its edges, but the shape remains large enough to imagine: a working house, a guarded yard or a small regional centre that stopped being built and became pasture.

In pasture, immediately N of stream valley and site of horizontal-wheeled mill (CO071-090002-). Depicted as hachured rectangular enclosure on 1842 OS 6-inch map; half hachured and half incorporated into field fence system on 1904 and 1938 OS 6-inch maps. Levelled; no visible surface trace. According to Hartnett (1939, 102), 'rectangular fort' (164ft N-S; 98ft E-W), enclosed by stone-faced bank to E and S and scarp (H 4ft) to N and W. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
