Sheepfold

In rough pasture, on a ridge overlooking Lough Currane to the N. The remains of a rectangular structure (4.9m E-W; 4m N-S) defined by the roughly constructed lower courses of a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.7m; H 0.9m). The entrance (Wth 0.55m) is at N. The level interior is obscured by rubble. A low rectangular annexe (1.4m N-S; 1.1m E-W), roofed with stone slabs (H 0.5m), abuts the structure at NE with a lintelled opening in the wall (Wth 0.4m) leading to the structure. It appears to be a sheepfold of 19th-century date. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 30 May 2011
