What is recorded here

In pasture, on N-facing slope, overlooking River Laney. Circular area (diam. 24m) defined by stone wall (H 1.2m); used as dumping ground for field clearance stones. Hartnett (1939, 55) noted 'rampart' of dry-stone walling partly built up in 'recent years', on line of original foundation. Possible souterrain (CO049-054----) in interior. 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
