Quarry, Ballinluig, Co. Cork

Mining
At Ballinluig in County Cork, there is a site that occupies a curious position in the historical record: it has been catalogued, cross-referenced, and formally assessed, and the conclusion reached is, essentially, that nothing conclusive can be said about it.
Listed as a quarry in both the Sites and Monuments Record of 1988 and the Record of Monuments and Places of 1998, it was examined and found to lack sufficient evidence to confirm it as an archaeological monument at all. The quarry designation persists, but the site sits in a kind of administrative uncertainty, noted precisely because it cannot be confirmed as noteworthy.
