Radial-stone enclosure in Baurgorm — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Eight shallow stones tilt inward across a ten-metre circle on Spratt hill, marking a burial ground where Durrus water still rises from beneath. People may have placed them around someone they loved, then lived beside the circle until memory softened into rain.

On NW side of Spratt hill in basin of headwaters of Durrus river. Eight radially-set stones (H 0.3m - 0.6m) visible in low bank of earth and stone which encloses circular area (diam. c. 10m). The interior has been used as a cillin or burial ground (CO118-043---). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
