- CO087-123 Burnt mound
Description
In a marshy area in pasture, on a S-facing slope with views over Cork Harbour to the SE. According to local information, a raised area (c. 6m E-W; max. H 0.5m) contains heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil though this could not be confirmed during the site inspection. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
- CO087-127 House - 16th/17th century
Description
Ballydulea House is a two-storey, three-bay, L-shaped house that has been altered over the years. In appearance it looks 19th-century but the thickness of the walls on the eastern part of the building along with a low-set squat internal door in the living room indicate that it may incorporate part of an earlier structure. A small house is shown on the Down Survey (1655-6) barony map in the approximate location of Ballydulea House so the house may incorporate the remains of a 17th-century building but there are no distinctive architectural features of that date evident in the present house. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
