What is recorded here

On a natural terrace of a SW-sloping rocky hillside, in rough pasture, on the NW-facing slopes of Gouladane overlooking Bantry Bay. A circular area (int. dims. 7.2m N-S; 7.1m E-W) is enclosed by a low, penannular bank (Wth 0.9m; H 0.2m) from which six radially set slabs protrude at irregular intervals. The tops of other stones are just visible on the crest of the bank and further stones were noted at intervals along the external perimeter. The enclosure is raised (H 0.6m) externally at N to compensate for the slope. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
