Recorded monuments

• CO076-119 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  In low-lying wet ground. Five pits and one post-hole were discovered in 2007 during archaeological monitoring in advance of the construction of an industrial development. The five pits were located in close proximity to each other and the post-hole was situated c. 0.15m to the E. Two of the pits had lenses of charcoal-enriched soil and oxidised clay in their fills and, according to Cleary (pers. comm.), it appeared that the material was dumped into the pits from activity elsewhere and did not represent in situ burning. The two pits were conjoined (overall L 1.6m N-S) and were probably dug at the same time. Burnt animal bone, a stone axehead fragment and a shaped stone were recovered from one of these pits. A thin layer of sandy clay extended across both pits and covered the charcoal-enriched lens and abutted the oxidised clay lens of one of the pits. Charcoal from the first pit yielded a C14 determination of AD 88-178 cal. Charcoal from the basal fill of the second pit returned a C14 determination of AD 94-231 cal. A layer (T 0.05-0.08m) of oxidised clay and charcoal occurred on the S lip of the latter pit and was interpreted as in situ burning. Of the other three pits, one (0.62m; max. D 0.20m) had a fill of charcoal-enriched soil with minute burnt bone fragments and two were of similar size (av. diam. 0.60m) and had a charcoal-enriched stony soil fill. The post-hole (diam. 0.12m; D 0.08m) was circular in plan. (pers. comm. Rose Cleary) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.

• CO076-120 Fulacht fia
  Description

  In low-lying wet ground. A low mound (20m E-W; 15m N-S; H 0.4m) of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil was discovered in 2007 during archaeological monitoring in advance of the construction of an industrial development. The burnt stones were predominantly sandstone and were sourced at some distance from the monument. The S part of the mound overlay charcoal-rich peaty clay that extended into a pond (10m E-W; 8m N-S; D 0.9m) which was probably the water source for the fulacht fia. The pond was infilled with peat lenses and heat-shattered stone. Twelve pits were recorded, three of which were outside the limit of the stone spread. Two large pits were interpreted as troughs. The pits were in two main clusters to the N of the pond; two pits were to the E and single pit lay to the W. It is possible that each concentration of pit activity is related to discrete use of the troughs. This fulacht fia was radiocarbon dated to 2283-2146 cal. BC (3788±30BP) (UBA 8449). Another fulacht fia (CO076-121----) lies c. 220m to the SSE. (pers. comm. Rose M. Cleary) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

• CO076-121 Fulacht fia
  Description

  In low-lying wet ground, to the S of an infilled pond. A spread of heat-shattered stones, under which was a series of pits including a trough, was discovered in 2007 during archaeological monitoring in advance of the construction of an industrial development. Three post-holes were recorded to the NW of the trough and ten stake-holes were to the S of a pit. The trough was c. 4m S of the pond. The pit was irregular in plan and the edges sloped into a second steep-sided pit that probably housed the trough lining. The fill comprised layers of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-rich silt and charcoal. This fulacht fia was radiocarbon dated to 996-920 cal. BC (2804±31) (UBA 8452). A second fulacht fia (CO076-120----) lies c. 220m to the NNW. (pers. comm. Rose M. Cleary) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.

• CO076-122 Burnt mound
  Description

  An irregular spread (6.8m E-W; 6.3m N-S; D 0.25m) of heat-shattered stones and three pits were discovered in 2007 during archaeological monitoring in advance of the construction of an industrial development. Two pits were recorded under the stone spread. One was oval in plan (1.1m E-W; 1.6m N-S; D 0.5m) and had a basal fill (T 0.1m) of charcoal-enriched silt with infrequent heat-shattered stones which may have accumulated naturally when the pit was open. The upper layers appeared to be deliberate infill of heat-shattered stones. The other pits were in a 'figure-of-8' plan (L 2m; Wth 1.1m; D 0.15m) with the N section being wider. There was a single fill of heat-shattered stones. This possible burnt mound was radiocarbon dated to 2197-2042 cal. BC (3726±33 BP) (UBA 8453). A fulacht fia (CO076-123----) lies c. 50m to the N. (pers. comm. Rose M. Cleary) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

• CO076-123 Fulacht fia
  Description

  In low-lying ground. A spread of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil over a trough and eight pits was discovered during archaeological monitoring in 2007 in advance of the construction of an industrial development. The pits were located to the north and south of the trough. The trough (2.65m E-W; 1.6-2.2m N-S; D 0.45m) was roughly oval in plan and the edges were irregular on the north side and the sides were vertical down to a flat base. Its fill comprised a layer of heat-shattered stones and charcoal that represented a single infill. This may be mound slippage rather than the final cooking activity at the site where it is unlikely that the amount of stones used filled the trough in entirety. Six stake-holes were recorded at the base of the trough. Three occurred on the N and S sides and one stake-hole was recorded adjacent to the southern trough pit edge. The stake-holes (diam. 0.08-0.11m; D 0.08-0.13m) were all 'V'-shaped in profile. The fills were stony charcoal-flecked silt. It is probable that the stake-holes within the trough pit functioned as pegs to secure the trough lining in place. A post-hole (0.3m N-S; 0.5m E-W; D 0.31m) was located 0.3m from the NW edge of the trough and may have held a post related to trough use. It contained a silt fill. Two large packing-stones remained in situ on the N side and a series of smaller stones along the remaining edges may also have held the post in place. A second post-hole (0.26m E-W; 0.31m N-S; D 0.21m) was located 0.45m from the trough edge. It contained charcoal-enriched clay fills. This fulacht fia was radiocarbon-dated to 2192-2938 cal. BC (3714±34 BP) (UBA 8454). A possible burnt mound (CO076-122----) lies c. 50m to the S. (pers. comm. Rose M. Cleary) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
