What is recorded here

In rough hill grazing on a peaty terrace on the SE-facing slopes of a ridge extending SW from Musherabeg. The remains of a semicircular stone wall (T 0.8m; H 0.3m) NNW-SSE protrudes above the surface of the bog and appear to be part of a possible enclosure (diam. 65m) around a stone circle (CO048-097001-), a standing stone (CO048-097002-) and a hut site (CO048-097004-). There are no visible remains of the wall SSE-NNW where the ground is uneven and there are occasional low outcropping rocks. A second hut site (CO048-097007-) abuts the inner face of the enclosure wall at SE. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
