What is recorded here

In a sheltered hollow, on a rocky SW-facing slope. The remains of a circular hut site (4.4m E-W; 3.9m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 0.6m; H 0.35m) with stone inclusions NE-SW and by the inner face of the bank SW-NE. The level interior of the hut site is raised (H 0.9m) at the SW and cut (D 0.6m) into the upslope SW-NE to compensate for the hillslope. There is an enclosure (CO115-087003-) c. 20m to the SW. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
