Settlement cluster in Park (bear By.) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Five grass-smothered house shadows still mark the south-facing slope beneath Hungry Hill, their earthen banks no higher than a kneeling child’s knee. One home grew a stone annexe on its south gable, doorway pointing west as if expecting visitors from the setting sun. A long oval stone circle sits nearby, its radial joints and narrow southern gap suggesting exclusion rather than invitation. The cluster may have belonged to herders, weavers, or fleeing families, but the stones never whispered their names.

In rough pasture, on S-facing slope at foot of Hungry Hill. Cluster of five rectangular and subrectangular house foundations, aligned N-S or E-W, of unknown date. Houses of grass-covered earthen bank (max. H 0.8m) some with stone facing; vary in length from 6.6m to 3.1m and in width from 3.9m to 2.85m. Subrectangular stone built annexe (3.5m E-W; 2.9m N-S) attached to S gable of one rectangular house; lower courses survive (H 0.55m; Wth 0.65m); doorway to W. Most easterly house cut by modern sheep shelter to W and by field boundary to E. Small oval enclosure (2.7m NE-SW; 23m NW-SE), c. 6m N of houses, of rough stone walling (int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.2m; Wth 1m); some stones set radially; narrow gap to S. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
