What is recorded here

In rough hill pasture, on a break on the W-facing stony slopes of Miskish Mountain and with a network of relict field boundaries (CO114-084011-). The remains of an oval hut site (3.5m NW-SE; 2.1m NE-SW) defined by a jumbled drystone wall (T 0.7m; H 0.3m). The interior is raised (H 0.3m) at the W and is cut (D 0.25m) into the upslope at the E to compensate for the hillslope. A circular enclosure (CO114-084008-) abuts this hut site at the NE. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
