What is recorded here

Not shown is a rectangular earthwork aligned east-west on a gentle slope above the Camoge River, sitting 370m east of Cahercorney Church and graveyard. It joins twelve other monuments in one complex, suggesting a long-lived ceremonial or residential landscape rather than a single isolated event. The clean rectangular shape implies deliberate construction, perhaps a boundary, enclosure or platform for activities still unknown.

On gently sloping ground falling E where a stream flows 750m N into the Camoge River. The feature is located 370m E of Cahercorney Church (LI032-072001-) and graveyard (LI032-072002-). Located within a complex of 12 monuments (LI032-073001-/013-) recorded by M. J. O'Kelly (1942-3, 181-2). The Discovery Programme identified further monuments within the complex including this ‘site’ (LI032-073016-). The feature is not depicted on OSi historic maps. Identified as an earthwork during archaeological research by the Discovery Programme (Grogan 2005) on the North Munster Project (Discovery Programme Site No. 19). The site is visible on OSi orthoimage taken 2005-12 and on Digital Globe orthoimage taken 2011-2013 as a rectangular-shaped earthwork aligned roughly E-W. The site should appraised by field inspection.
