Roughly L-shaped series of at least 10 circular maculae, visible as cropmarks in aerial photograph (CASAP, July 1989), extending N-S for c. 200m in centre of field; shorter extension to W at N end. Maculae (diam. c. 10m) morphologically similar to those at Conva (13854) which, when excavated, revealed pits. Two parallel linear cropmarks c. 100m apart, possibly levelled field boundaries, cross field in NW-SE direction. 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
