What is recorded here

On the N side of a road in the valley of the Mealagh River. Two small Greek crosses with expanded terminals are visible on an exposed section of smooth bedrock (4.6m E-W; 1.15m N-S) at the base of a roadside boundary. Much of the remainder of the exposed bedrock is covered with shallow, mainly linear, grooves and small rounded depressions forming no discernible pattern. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
