What is recorded here

In a coniferous forest, on the summit of Sheagh hill. A ring-barrow, which was 'completely destroyed' during tree planting, was noted to the N of another ring-barrow (CO141-013001-) in 1960 (UCC). There are no visible remains of this ring-barrow. There are two cairns (CO141-013002-; CO141-144----) c. 70m and c. 100m to the S, respectively. 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.
