What is recorded here

According to Wakeman (1875, 459), 'Not far from the Pass of Keim-an-eigh....is a five-holed Bullán rock, containing oval-shaped stonesin each cavity. The holes are supposed by the neighbouring peasantry to have formed portion of the belongings of a dairy; and the stones are looked upon as petrified "meskins" of butter'. Exact location not known; the pass of Keimaneigh defines the boundary between two townlands. 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

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.
