What is recorded here

Ring-ditch in Cregg North is the northernmost of four small circular enclosures aligned north-south, possibly a linear barrow cemetery. A central shadow marks its interior, while a nearby ringfort may have cut through another lost enclosure. The land holds a row of departed shapes, waiting for someone to walk them into memory.

Cropmark of fosse of small circular enclosure (diam. <10m) with central macula in interior, visible in aerial photograph (CASAP, July 1989). The most northerly of a linear series (long axis roughly N-S) of four similarly sized enclosures (CO035-01303-; CO035-01304-; CO035-01305-), possibly the remains of a linear barrow cemetery. Group of maculae immediately to N, possibly three small pits, also noted as cropmarks; many other possible pits noted to W and SW of ringfort (CO035-01301-) which is c. 10m to NW; ringfort may have cut through yet another similarly sized enclosure. Circular enclosure (CO035-091---) c. 100m to SE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000).
