What is recorded here

In rough hill grazing, on bog, on the W-facing slopes of Shehy Beg. The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 2.4m) are defined by a jumbled, roughly built, drystone wall (T 0.5m; H 0.5m). Stones are scattered in the level interior, which is cut (D 0.3m) into the upslope at the E and raised (H 0.25m) at the W to give a level interior. There is an enclosure (CO093-087----) c. 20m to the N. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
