What is recorded here

On Inishbeg Island, in the estuary of the Ilen River. According to local information, there is a souterrain at the W end of the island and it consists of two stone-lined tunnels and one chamber. Its precise location is not known and enquiries made in 2004 did not lead to any further information about it. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
