What is recorded here

In pasture. Depicted as hachured penannular enclosure (diam. c. 70m), open to ESE, on 1842, 1905 and 1937 OS 6-inch maps. Townland boundary, extending NW-SE, bisects enclosure of-centre to NE. Fosse (D 0.35m) survives NNW->N, with scarp continuing line of enclosure N->ENE; not visible at ground level elsewhere. According to local information, enclosure (SE->NNW) to SW of townland boundary levelled c. 1964. Depression on edge of enclosure to N is all that remains of lime kiln marked on 1842 OS 6-inch map. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
