What is recorded here

On W side of stream, just E of Desert church (CO054-031002-) and graveyard (CO054-031003-) and S of horizontal mill-stone (CO054-030----). Stream bank partially stone-faced. According to local information, "shaft and some other pieces of worked timber" removed from site in recent past. Five fragments of mill-stones from horizontal water mill remain; runner-stone fragment with raised band around central perforation on upper surface and rynd-bar sockets on grinding surface. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
