In an area of bog covered with moor grass, on an E-facing hillslope overlooking the valley of the Barony River. A network of mainly collapsed, curvilinear, stone field boundaries (T 0.6m; H 0.4m) protrudes above the surface of the bog in an irregularly shaped area (c. 180m N-S; c. 130m E-W). Occasionally the relict field boundaries run on into deeper bog in wet hollow areas. There are six hut sites (CO091-010002-, CO091-010003-, CO091-010004-, CO091-010005-, CO091-010010- and CO091-010011-), two enclosures (CO091-010006-, CO091-010008-), a standing stone (CO091-010009-) and a wedge-tomb (CO091-010007-) within this network of relict field boundaries. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
