What is recorded here

In rough heather-clad hill grazing, on the S-facing slopes of Shehy Beg. A stone slab (1.8m E-W; 1.5m N-S; H 0.8m), resting on a table-like area of outcropping rock, is known locally as a mass-rock. Two smaller slabs, which lean to the E, are situated to the E of the mass-rock and may be the remains of a small animal shelter. The mass-rock is c. 70m to the S of the old 'Butter Path', which runs along the lower slopes of Shehy Beg. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
