What is recorded here

Five stone rings mark a grassy platform beneath Dromore Hill, waiting for someone to explain why they were built. The westernmost circle measures twenty-two centimetres across and sits three metres from its neighbour, small enough to touch yet distinct enough to remember. Perhaps a family placed stones there after a loss, or a traveller paused before crossing open country. Either way, the ridge still holds the shape of that gesture.

On a grassy platform, beneath a ridge, on the SW side of Dromore Hill. This is the westernmost of a group of five cairns (see CO119-117----; CO119-117001-; CO119-117002-; CO119-117003-) that are situated E-W along the platform. This circular cairn (diam. 2.2m; H 0.5m) is situated 3m to the W of one of the other cairns (CO119-117004-). The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.
