What is recorded here

In rough hill pasture, on cutaway bog, on a W-facing slope overlooking the valley of the Canrooska River. A network of mainly curvilinear, relict, stone field boundaries (T 0.6m; H 0.4m), which protrude above the surface of the remaining shallow bog, covers an irregularly shaped area (c. 150m N-S; c. 100m E-W). Many of the stones in the relict boundaries are set at right angles to the line of the walls. A stone row (CO090-006001-), a five-stone circle (CO090-006002-) and a cairn (CO090-006003-) are located within the field boundary network. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
