What is recorded here

In pasture, c. 60m S of the Owenashingaun River. According to local information, a circular mound of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil was discovered here during land drainage works. The mound was levelled and there are no visible remains of any heat-shattered stones or charcoal-enriched soil. Also according to local information, three parallel oak logs (L c. 4.5m), c. 1m apart, were found in the bog c. 6-8m W of the burnt mound. These are no longer extant and their relationship, if any, to the burnt mound could not be established. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
