What is recorded here

In rough grazing on bog, on a terrace, on the N-facing slopes of the Maughnaclea Hills. This area has been partially reclaimed, levelled off and surface-seeded in recent times. Intermittent traces of relict stone field boundaries (T 0.5m; H 0.1m), which protrude above the surface of the bog, occur in a roughly rectangular area (c. 180m NE-SW; c. 90m NW-SE). The relict boundaries extend to the SW from a radial-stone enclosure (CO106-011----) and a four-poster (CO106-010----). Occasional loose stones on the bog surface may have been become dislodged and fallen from the relict walls. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
