Field system in Conna — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Conna castle stands beside a hidden field system where faint cropmarks reveal a large rectangular enclosure and circular chambers. The marks suggest rooms, yards or ritual spaces now buried beneath grass and memory. People may have lived, worked or worshipped there before the castle rose, but the earth keeps that chapter closed.

Faint traces of linear features showing as cropmarks in field fence to E of Conna castle (CO046-001----). Appears to be a large subrectangular enclosure; circular cropmark (CO046-062----) abuts external SW corner; smaller circular cropmark (CO046-063----) abuts S edge internally. Series of apparent internal sub divisions in NE quadrant; difficult to interpret and possibly including a third small circular cropmark. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
