What is recorded here

Reenroe holds a small corbelled recess, barely taller than a child, beside a ringfort and standing stone. The stones still lean inward like a chamber waiting for breath, though water no longer flows through them. It may have been a well, a hiding place, or a room built for one person. The forest keeps the shape alive while memory retreats.
In wooded grove, S of Reenroe House; W of ringfort (CO132-026---); to E of nearby standing stone (CO132-024---). Small corbelled recess (H 1.3m; Wt 0.75m) enclosing a circular area; probably part of well from which water has been diverted. 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
