What is recorded here

The Down Survey (1655-6) barony map shows a tall tower with a conical top, located close to the shore in this townland. Nothing is known of its history (Healy 1988, 98-9) nor is there any trace of it on the ground in this location. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
