What is recorded here

In rough hill pasture on bog, covered with moor grass, on a terrace on a W-facing slope overlooking the valley of the Barony River and its surrounding mountains. A circular area (13m N-S; 12m E-W) is defined by the jumbled remains of a stone wall (T 0.8m; H 0.4m) protruding above the surface of the bog. The interior slopes down to the W; there is a fern-covered pile of stones in the E half. The damaged entrance is at NE. Walls radiate from the enclosure at W, NE and SE. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
