What is recorded here

Within a possible rath (CO121-107001-). This earth-cut souterrain (L. 2.8m N-S; Wth 1.8m;. H c. 1.5m) was discovered during ploughing in the 1990s (pers. comm. John Cronin). A stone-built wall (Wth 1.6m; H 0.9m) was visible at the N end of the chamber. A subsequent inspection of the area in July 2005, when there was a corn crop in the field, failed to gain access to the souterrain location. No differential growth pattern was discernible in the field on this occasion when the area was viewed from higher ground. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
