What is recorded here

In low bogland to W of Lough Aderreen. According to Roberts (1988, Ch. 2, site 9) "Lough Adereen, scene of fairs which became bawdy....near the lake stood a cromlech that was displaced as an added discouragement to the local festivities." Area now inaccessible due to overgrowth and waterlogging. 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
