  Description

  On NW bank of Awbeg River. Remains of foot bridge (L c. 35m; long axis NW-SE) survive, extending from E corner of Water House (14940). Bridge not marked on 1842 OS 6-inch map, river shown as being wider (Wth c. 35m) flowing along edge of Water House. According to local information, river dredged and narrowed (Wth c. 20m) in 1900s and SE section of bridge removed, leaving remainder on dry land - see photograph by Jones (1906, 200) and plan by O'Keeffe and Simington (1991, 309). Seven random-rubble limestone piers (H 0.7m-1m; Wth 0.96 to 1.37m ) remain; span increases from NW to SE. Piers bridged by long limestone slabs (L 1.1m to 2.5m). Thin strip of metal inserted into centre of three wider slabs. According to Grove White (1905-1925, vol. 4, 316), clapper bridge used by monks of Ballybeg Abbey (14379) which is located c. 450m to SE, to access grist mill somewhere in Waterhouse townland. May be associated with 'Monk's Pond' to rear of Springfield house (14849) on SE bank of river. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.

  Description

  In flat pasture, to the SE of Ballybeg Augustinian Priory church. This circular columbarium (CO017-059003-; int. diam. 4.6m) is entered via a ground-floor door on the W side. The Interior wall face has continuous rows of nesting boxes (Wth 0.22m; H 0.2m; 32 boxes in each circuit), in 11 tiers up to a height of c. 5m (see plan and section in Brash 1852b, 266-7). Above this, the wall inclines gently inward for a height of c. 2m, above which it is corbelled in steeply, leaving a circular opening at the top. High up on the exterior wall face on the N side is a lintelled door giving access to mural stairs leading to the top of the tower, possibly to a wall-walk. Section of projecting masonry to the E of the door indicates the wall extending N from the columbarium, probably with a wall-walk, from which the door was accessed.

• CO017-059004 Earthwork
  Description

  In low-lying boggy pasture, between Awbeg River to S and Ballybeg abbey (14379) to N. Field, bordered by river to S and road to N, contains many low undulations. Immediately S of road, and 'roughly in line with the east wall of the abbey' (O Rahilly 1994, site 11), is trapezoidal enclosure (36m E-W; 40m N-S), enclosed by low earthen bank on E and W sides and by scarp to N. Low earthen bank (Wth c. 2m; H c. 0.5m) runs from NW corner of platform to stream bed to NW (L 38m). In same field, close to bank of river and N of platform, are three irregular mounds of earth and stone (average H 1.5m). Aerial photographs (Dr D.D.C. Pochin Mould) show further earthworks in this field as shadow sites. Platform likely to be part of monastic complex; mounds near river may be result of river drainage or could be associated with mill (15228) shown in approximately this position on Down Survey (1655-6) barony map.
