What is recorded here

In a rough hill pasture terrace, on an E-facing slope, overlooking Glanarough, Blackball Head and the mouth of Bantry Bay. Two stones, which stand 0.4m apart and are aligned E-W, form part of a relict field boundary which extends in an E-W direction for a distance of c. 50m. The W stone (H 1m; 0.8m x 0.35m) leans to the S and the E stone (H 0.9m; 0.8m x 0.3m) is upright. The relict boundary may have been exposed when turf was cut in this area in the past. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
