What is recorded here

In rough grazing, on hillside and immediately S of coniferous plantation. U-shaped setting of low stones (L 5m; Wth 4m) protruding from bog; open at E side. Adjacent to and outside N 'arm' of stones is roughly oval mound of burnt material (H 0.8m). Stones may have formed internal revetment for mound, only part of which now remains. According to local information, some mound material was removed when forestry fire-break was dug. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
