What is recorded here

In rough grazing, on a SW-facing slope, overlooking Lonehort Harbour on the SE side of Bere Island. The intermittent remains of a possible earthwork (L c. 170m; Wth 2-2.5m) extends upslope to the NE from the shore of Lonehort Harbour and then curves gently to the SE. It is defined by a stone field boundary (T 0.6m; H 1-1.4m) on its SE side and by traces of an eroded bank (Wth 1-1.5m; H 0.6m), with several large boulders occurring at intervals, on its NW side. This possible earthwork may be associated with the adjacent jetty (CO116-041001-) and Viking naust (CO116-041002-). The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
