What is recorded here

In pasture, on S-facing slope. According to Ó Ríordáin (1931, 60) 'circular hollow in the field and a bend in the fence, indicates the former existence of a lios here'. Field known locally as "Pairc an Leasa". No visible surface trace, however, "dark patch" noted by landowner when field ploughed. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
