Radial-stone enclosure in Glantane East

Radial-stone enclosure

What is recorded here

Thirteen low stones circle a ten-metre patch of level ground beside the Keel River headwaters, most set radially within a rough pasture bank. They remain visible beside a standing-stone pair a hundred metres south-west, marking an old boundary or gathering place on open land. The enclosure still holds its shape beneath grass and river mist, waiting for someone to remember why those stones were set in a circle rather than a line.
On level area, in rough pasture in headwaters of Keel River. Thirteen stones, most set radially (H 0.2m to 0.45m), visible in low bank (H c.0.5m; Wth 1.2m to 2m), enclosing level area c. 10m in diameter. Pair ofstanding stones (6551) 100m to SW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
