What is recorded here
In rough pasture, on bog on the lower S-facing slopes of Canshanavoe Mountain overlooking the valley of Adrigole River to the S. In the course of turf-cutting over several years, preserved pieces of cut wooden planks were encountered on the face of the cut bog (D c. 0.5-0.7m below the surface). These may be the remains of a togher running through the bog (present depth 1-1.8m deep). One piece of wood (L 1.1m; Wth 0.15m; T 0.07m) was identified as oak (Archaeology Dept., UCC).
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
