What is recorded here

On level shoulder on SW-facing slope of Mealagh river valley. Upright stone (H 0.8m; 0.7m x 0.4m) aligned NW-SW. Five-stone circle (CO106-019---) c. 26m to N. (WBBS). Myler (1998, 37) records 'a low spreading cairn of randomly placed stones on the SE side of this stone which has a diameter of 8 yards and a height of 1ft'. 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: 24 January 2013
