What is recorded here

In rough undulating hill pasture, on a W-facing slope within a network of relict field boundaries (CO115-090001-). The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 2m) defined by a jumbled stone wall (T 0.55m; H 0.4m) that is resting on, and protrudes above, the surface of the bog. Occasional large stones occur along the perimeter. The hut site is raised (H 0.25m) at the W and cut (D 0.1m) into the upslope at the E creating an almost level pasture interior. A relict wall from the network of field boundaries abuts the hut site at the S. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
