Ring-ditch in Cregg North

Ring-ditch

What is recorded here

Four small ditches mark a lost burial line in Cregg North, with Ring-ditch at the southern end beside a ringfort and another enclosure. They may have been barrows, exposing a place where death, memory and everyday life crossed.
Cropmark of fosse of small circular enclosure (diam. c. 15m) visible in aerial photograph (CASAP, July 1989); possible entrance to E. Two maculae noted to ESE opposite entrance, possibly pits. The most southerly of a linear series (long axis roughly N-S) of four similarly sized enclosures (CO035-01302-; CO035-01303-; CO035-01304-), possibly remains of a linear barrow cemetery. Ringfort (CO035-01301-) c. 80m to NW and circular enclosure (CO035-091---) c. 70m to ESE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
