What is recorded here

The Down Survey (1655-6) barony map shows a house in the approximate location of Ring House. Ring House was demolished c. 1960 and there are no visible remains of it. According to local information the house was 'three-storey and very long' (CAS). 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.

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
