What is recorded here

In scrubland with outcropping rock, on a SSE-facing slope. A roughly oval mound (8.1m NE-SW; 5.8m NW-SE; H 0.45m) defined by at least 12 kerbstones SW-NE. On the NE quadrant of the mound the tops of two stones (0.5m x 0.18m x 0.16m; 0.5m x 0.22m x 0.06m), at right angles to each other, protrude above the surface. Another stone (0.9m x 0.65m x 0.12m) lies on the surface beside them. The function or date of this mound is not clear. An outcropping rock, known locally as the 'hanging rock' is 1.85m to the WNW. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
