• CO067-086 Enclosure
  Description

  On the N side of a stream valley where the valley floor begins to rise. A rectangular enclosure (c. 40m E-W; 35m N-S) with rounded corners and defined by a fosse, was partially excavated in advance of the construction of the N25 Youghal Bypass in 2001. The fosse is U-shaped (Wth c. 3m; D 1.75) on the S side where the enclosure sits on the valley floor and is V-shaped (Wth c. 2.5m; D 3m) where the ground rises to the N. It widens to a maximum of 5m on the W side. Evidence from the fill of the fosse suggests that it silted up over a long period of time initially with the upper layers possibly deliberately backfilled. Two structures, one circular (CO067-086001-) and the other rectangular (CO067-086002-) were excavated in the SW part of the interior. Two souterrains (CO067-086003-, CO067-086004-) were located in the interior, one in the W half and the other in the E. Two corn-drying kilns (CO067-086005-, CO067-086006-) and a small box furnace (CO067-086007-) were also excavated within the enclosure. A radiocarbon date from the enclosing fosse produced a 'cal. AD 420-670 (cal. BP 1530-1280)' date suggesting an Early Christian period date for the enclosure (Noonan 2003e, 30). Sometime in the 7th century the enclosure was extended by the construction of a second enclosure (CO067-087----) immediately to the N. (Noonan 2003e, 29-30; Noonan et al. 2004).

• CO067-086001 Structure
  Description

  This structure was excavated within an enclosure (CO067-086----) at Ballynacarriga in 2001 during advance work on the N25 Youghal Bypass. The circular structure (diam. 8.7m) was located towards the centre of the main enclosure and was defined by 81 stake-holes (diam. 0.03-0.18m; D 0.1-0.32m). The circle of stake-holes was truncated by a modern linear drain along the N side and was further cut by a later rectangular structure (CO067-086002-) at the SW. A corn-drying kiln (CO067-086006-) is situated to the W. (Noonan 2003e, 29; Noonan et al. 2004, 15-17) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.

  Description

  This structure was excavated within an enclosure (CO067-086----) at Ballynacarriga in 2001 during advance work on the N25 Youghal Bypass. The structure comprises a roughly rectangular area defined by several pits, shallow features and post-holes. This structure truncated an earlier circular structure (CO067-086001-) at the NE and may represent the upper NW corner of a rectangular building (Noonan et al. 2004, 17).

• CO067-086003 Souterrain
  Description

  This souterrain was discovered in 2001 during archaeological excavations in advance of the N25 Youghal Bypass. The earth-cut souterrain was located within the SW quadrant of an enclosure (CO067-086----), to the N of a circular structure (CO067-086001-). It comprised four main chambers that formed a roughly horse-shoe shape in plan. The first two chambers, one at E and the other at N, were uncovered in the E arm of the souterrain. The E chamber (6.1m N-S; max. Wth 2.3m; H 1.28m) consisted of sharp vertical sides and a flat base. A rounded termination to the N end of the chamber, where it met the second chamber, along with a sharp bump in the ground may have formed part of an entrance feature. Similar to the E chamber, the N chamber (5.7m E-W; Wth 0.96m; H 0.96) had sharp vertical sides and a flat base. This chamber became wider (max. Wth 1.25m) and deeper (max. D 1.13m) at the NW where it met with the W arm of the souterrain. Two chambers were uncovered in this W arm, one at the W and the other at the S. The W chamber (max. L 3.6m N-S; max. Wth 2m; max. H 1.8m) was roughly rectangular in plan with sharp sides and a flat base. It was connected to the E arm by a narrow creepway at the N. A shelf (L 1.5m; Wth 0.95m) in the W side of the chamber may have been a side exit. The fourth chamber (L 3.4m SE-NW; max. H 0.83m) to the S had sharp sides and a flat base. The height of the chamber decreased (H 0.53m) at the S end and this would appear to have been the entrance area to the souterrain (Noonan et al. 2004, 18). A patchy, possible clay floor lining was found in the W arm. Similar to another souterrain (CO067-086004-), excavated c. 20m to the E, it is possible that the souterrain was timber lined, though no evidence of this survived (ibid., 19). According to the excavators (ibid.), it is also possible that the souterrain may have been stone lined and the stone may have been robbed out for use elsewhere.

• CO067-086004 Souterrain
  Description

  This souterrain was discovered in 2001 during archaeological excavations in advance of the N25 Youghal Bypass. The earth-cut souterrain, which was situated in the E half of an enclosure (CO067-086----), was L-shaped in plan and comprised two passages connected by a narrow creepway. The NW-SE orientated passage (L 7m; Wth 1.2m; H c. 0.8m) consisted of vertical sides and well-rounded steeply sloping ends. Near the NW end of the NE side of this passage is an earth-cut step that, according to the excavators (Noonan et al. 2004, 25-6), was probably the entrance. The second passage (L 5.2m SW-NE; max. H 0.75m) joined the first passage near the SE end of the NE side. This latter branch extended SW-NE and then turned to the SE for a further 3.7m. According to Noonan et al. (ibid., 26), this tailing-off of the passage was possibly an exit from the feature. Two of the deposit layers within the passages contained quite frequent charcoal fragments, which may have been evidence for burnt timber lining or structural supports. The ceiling of the creepway, which was an inverted V-shape, may have been roofed by timber planking which had subsequently rotted, retaining its original shape (ibid.). Similar to another souterrain (CO067-086003-), excavated c. 20m to the W, it is possible that the passages were timber lined, though, apart from a large amount of charcoal recovered from one of the fills, no definite evidence of this survived.

• CO067-086005 Kiln - corn-drying
  Description

  This is one of two poorly preserved corn-drying kilns (CO067-086006-) that were uncovered within an early medieval enclosure (CO067-086----) during excavations along the route of the N25 Youghal Bypass in 2001. The remains of the kiln comprised a collapsed NE-SW orientated stone flue (3.1m E-W x 0.9m N-S) that lead to an oval chamber (3.2m N-S x 2.4m E-W) at the SW end. Both the flue and chamber were contained in a roughly rectangular area of intense heat oxidisation. This corn-drying kiln truncated the S arc of an adjacent circular structure (CO067-086001-). A 2-sigma calibration radiocarbon date on charcoal recovered from the lowest fill of the kiln produced a date of cal. AD 780 to 1020.

This kiln was located to the W of the circular structure (CO067-086001-) and, according to the excavator (Noonan 2001c), the base was all that survived. Two fills were recorded both of which contained burnt stone and charcoal (ibid., 86-7).

• CO067-086007 Kiln
  Description

  This kiln was uncovered within the NE corner of an early medieval enclosure (CO067-086----) during excavations along the route of the N25 Youghal Bypass in 2001. It was rectangular in plan (L 2m NE-SW; Wth 0.9m; max. D 0.7m) with a flat base and straight sides, all of which were heavily oxidised. The kiln contained four fills with inclusions of heat-fractured stones, ash and charcoal. According to the excavators (Noonan et al. 2004, 24), 'no charred archaeobotanical remains were recovered from this feature, nor were any by-products of metallurgy such as slag, tuyère or areas of vitrification.' In the absence of such finds, the feature was interpreted as an oven (ibid.).

• CO067-087 Enclosure
  Description

  On the N side of a stream valley, on a S-facing slope and immediately to the N of another similar enclosure (CO067-086----). This enclosure (c. 51m E-W; 47m N-S) was discovered and excavated in advance of the construction of the N25 Youghal Bypass in 2001 (Noonan 2003e, 29-30). Its N and E sides are defined by a U-shaped fosse (Wth 3.3m; D c. 3m) and its S side is defined by the N fosse of the adjoining enclosure. The remains of three circular structures (CO067-087001-, CO067-087002-, CO067-087003-), three corn-drying kilns (CO067-087004-, CO067-087005-, CO067-087006-) and a possible souterrain (CO067-087007-) were found within the E half of the enclosure. A radiocarbon date of 'cal. AD 620-700 (cal. BP 1320-1250)' was obtained from the lowest fill of the fosse (Noonan 2003e, 29-30). The excavator concluded that this enclosure was a 7th-century extension to the enclosure adjoining it to the S (CO067-086----) (Noonan et al. 2004, 49).

• CO067-087001 Structure
  Description

  This structure was excavated within an enclosure (CO067-087----) at Ballynacarriga in 2001 during advance work on the N25 Youghal Bypass. The structure (4.6m N-S; 5.6m E-W) was found to be roughly subcircular in plan and of slot-trench construction (Wth c. 0.2m; D 0.11m). Internal post-holes and stake-holes divided the interior into two halves. A terminal to the trench on S side suggested an entrance location. There was no evidence of a hearth or finds from the excavated deposits.

• CO067-087002 Structure
  Description

  This structure was excavated within an enclosure (CO067-087----) at Ballynacarriga in 2001 during advance work on the N25 Youghal Bypass. The structure (diam. c. 5.1m) was roughly circular in plan and of slot-trench construction (Wth c. 0.22-0.27m ; D c. 0.05-0.11m) and was best preserved along the N, E and W arcs. A break (Wth 2.2m) in the trench along the S arc suggests a possible entrance location. Two internal post-holes (diam. 0.28m; D 0.25m), 1m apart, may have contained posts to support a roof. Six external post-holes (diam. 0.26m; D 0.24m) may have contained wall supports. There was no evidence of a hearth or finds from excavated deposits.

• CO067-087003 Structure
  Description

  This structure was excavated within an enclosure (CO067-087----) at Ballynacarriga in 2001 during advance work on the N25 Youghal Bypass. This structure is evidenced by two slot-trenches. The slot-trench at the N was semicircular in plan (diam. 6.6m; Wth 0.28-0.4m; D 0.1-0.2m) and was best preserved along the N arc where it had vertical sides and a flat base. This trench became gradually shallower along its E and W arcs. The second smaller slot-trench (C 2.8m E-W) was of a similar width and depth and was traceable on a parallel arc c. 6m to the S. There was no direct physical relationship between the two trenches. Fourteen post-holes and a possible internal gully were associated with the slot-trenches. According to the excavator (Noonan 2003e, 29), the close proximity of this structure to two corn-drying kilns (CO067-087004-, CO067-087006-) suggests that it may have been a windbreak of some kind.

• CO067-087004 Kiln - corn-drying
  Description

  One of three corn-drying kilns (see CO067-087005-, CO067-087006-) uncovered in an early medieval enclosure (CO067-087----) during excavations along the N25 Youghal Bypass. The remains of this poorly preserved, NW-SE orientated, corn-drying kiln (L 5m), which was a keyhole-shaped type, comprised a flue and bowl. The bowl (1m NW-SE; 0.8m SW-NE; max D 0.2m), which was irregular and overall concave in shape, was situated at the NW end. An arrangement of three large, angular stones along the NW edge of the bowl may have represented the remains of stone-lining. The flue (Wth 0.4m; max. D 0.13m) was most intact at its S end where the partial remains of its original stone lining were still in situ. There was also some disturbed lining and patches of oxidised clay along its base. According to the excavators (Noonan et al. 2004, 37), the flue lining was considerably decayed and heavily oxidised, a sign of having been exposed to high temperatures. A fill of charcoal-rich, dark brown clay was found in both the flue and bowl.

  Description

  One of three corn-drying kilns (see CO067-087004-, CO067-087006-) uncovered in an early medieval enclosure (CO067-087----) during excavations along the N25 Youghal Bypass. This corn-drying kiln (2.2m E-W; 0.7-1.1m N-S; max. D 0.8m) had an irregularly shaped cut with rounded corners, steep sides and a flat E-W sloping base. The kiln had been partially cut on its SE side by a later corn-drying kiln (CO067-087006-) and no flue was evident. It was surrounded by a structure (CO067-087003-) which, according to the excavators (Noonan et al. 2004, 24), was considered to be a superstructure or a windbreak associated with the kiln.

• CO067-087006 Kiln - corn-drying
  Description

  One of three corn-drying kilns (see CO067-087004-, CO067-087005-) uncovered in an early medieval enclosure (CO067-087----) during excavations in this area of the N25 Youghal Bypass. This well-preserved stone-lined kiln (L 6.6m NW-SE) comprised a bowl-shaped drying chamber at the NW end and a flue that extended to the SE. The drying chamber (diam. c. 2.4m; max. D 0.4m) was roughly circular in plan with steeply sloping sides and a generally flat base. The flue (max. Wth 1.2m; D 0.03-0.25m), which was dug into the downward incline of the slope, had steep vertical sides which became more gradual as it extended downslope. A lining of moderately compact, light brown, sandy silt occurred at the mouth of the flue at which point it significantly narrowed the width of the flue to 0.2m. Three courses of large flat stones (av. 0.4m x 0.2m x 0.09m) occurred along the edges of the chamber and were set either against the cut of the kiln or the silty lining. A thin layer of charcoal-rich dark-brown clay was found at the base of the chamber and extended the entire length of the flue. This kiln partially truncated an earlier corn-drying kiln (CO067-087005-) as well as part of the slot trench of an associated structure (CO067-087003-). The excavator (Noonan 2003e, 29) suggests that the latter structure may have been a windbreak of some kind.

• CO067-087007 Souterrain
  Description

  This souterrain (L 6.1m; Wth 0.9m; max. H 0.9m) was discovered in 2001 during archaeological excavations in advance of the N25 Youghal Bypass. It was a simple earth-cut souterrain comprising a single chamber that was orientated N-S. This souterrain extended from the interior of an enclosure (CO067-087----) into the N fosse of an adjacent enclosure (CO067-086----). The sides of the souterrain sloped steeply and the base (Wth 0.5m) was flat and inclined from N-S. A small thin spread of charcoal, found above the basal layer of the souterrain floor, was suggestive of burnt planking, though no substantial in situ burning or any other form of lining was evident (Noonan et al. 2004, 39). According to the excavators (ibid.), it is most likely that this souterrain was used for storage rather than refuge.

• CO067-088 Kiln - corn-drying
  Description

  Monitoring of groundworks along the Ballynacarriga access road section of the N25 Youghal Bypass in 2001 uncovered a large oval area of oxidisation (4.1m N-S x 2m E-W) which was interpreted by the excavator (Noonan 2003f, 30) as a poorly preserved corn-drying kiln. A linear flue-like cut was located almost centrally in the area of oxidisation. The flue contained mixed fills of moderately charcoal-flecked and stony silty clay. A number of post-holes bounded the oxidised area and, according to Noonan (ibid.), may have been part of a timber-supported superstructure to the kiln. A carbon sample from the fill of the flue produced a 2 sigma calibration date of cal. AD 650-890 (cal. BP 1300-1060).
