What is recorded here

In a rath (CO128-026001-). According to local information, an area within the rath was used as a 'cillíneach' or children's burial ground but it was levelled at the same time as the rath. There are no visible remains of this burial ground. A cross-inscribed stone (CO128-026003-) stands c. 20m to the SE. 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.
