To W of Upper Aghada, in centre of graveyard. C of I parish church of Aghada built in 1817 (Brady 1863, vol. 2, 7-8), on new site, replacing 18th century church in ancient graveyard (see CO088-035002-) 300m to SE.

Rectangular nave, roof hipped at E end; blocked pointed window opes with smaller lights inserted. Square 3-storey built against centre of W gable, flanked by lean-tos to N and S continuing roof line of church, giving impression that tower incorporated into church.

- CO088-122 Metalworking site
Description
A black charcoal-enriched feature was exposed during test excavation prior to a proposed house site development in the main street of Aghada village. Excavation of the feature revealed a linear trench (L 6m E-W; max Wth 1.4m N-S; max. D 0.8m) which contained three fills. The high incidence of iron slag and tuyère fragments recovered from the main fill of the trench suggested to the excavator (Quinn 2006f, 33) that it was part of a furnace or a feature associated with ironworking. The thick clay lining at the base of the trench is also characteristic of iron-smelting furnaces. A sherd of post-medieval, glazed, red earthenware pottery dating to between the 17th and the 19th centuries was recovered from this layer. According to Quinn (ibid.), it is possible that the feature excavated is part of a flue associated with an earth-cut furnace. (Quinn 2006f, 33; Quinn 2003) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
