What is recorded here

A low bank of earth and field clearance stones rises one metre along its western and southern edges. The structure remains a rath, marked more by exclusion than grandeur.
In pasture, on steep NE-facing slope. Roughly circular area (33m NW-SE; 31m NNE-SSW) enclosed by earth and stone bank W->S (H 1m); low earthen bank topped by field clearance stones W->S. 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
