• CO067-080 Burnt pit
  Description

  One of two burnt pits (see CO067-080001-) and an area of rake-out material that were excavated in 2001 following archaeological testing and monitoring on the N25 Youghal Bypass. This, the larger of the pits (1.3m N-S; 1m E-W; D 0.31m) was subcircular in plan and its primary fill appeared to be a charcoal-rich lens of material. Both pits showed signs of oxidisation, indicating exposure to heat. The spread (0.6m N-S; 0.4m) of rake-out material also showed signs of oxidisation.

  Description

  One of two burnt pits (see CO067-080----) and an area of rake-out material that were excavated in 2001 following archaeological testing and monitoring on the N25 Youghal Bypass. This, the smaller of the pits (0.67m N-S; 0.62m E-W) was subcircular in plan and contained frequent charcoal inclusions. Both pits showed signs of oxidisation, indicating exposure to heat. The spread (0.6m N-S; 0.4m) of rake-out material also showed signs of oxidisation. (Noonan 2001a; 2003g, 55-6) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.

• CO067-082 Pit - excavated
  Description

  Following archaeological testing and monitoring on the N25 Youghal Bypass a circular pit (0.45m N-S; 0.41m E-W; D 0.21m) was excavated in 2001. The two fills were of a similar compact, blackish, silty clay and contained small fire-cracked stones and flecks of charcoal. A carbon sample produced a date of 1490-1200 cal. BC (Noonan 2003g, 56).

• CO067-083 Hearth
  Description

  Following archaeological testing and monitoring on the N25 Youghal Bypass a hearth was excavated in 2001. The hearth (1.2m N-S; 0.96m E-W; D 0.18m) was suboval in plan with no discernible corners. It contained three ashy fills sitting on an oxidised base. A carbon sample taken from the fill produced a date of 160 cal. BC - AD 90 cal. (Noonan 2003g, 56).

• CO067-089 Habitation site
  Description

  Excavation in 2001 in advance of the construction of the N25 Youghal Bypass revealed an unenclosed area (10m x 10m) that contained a large number of pits, post-holes and stake-holes which, apart from one or two possible structures, were difficult to classify. These possible structures were constructed mainly of stakes that were replaced by a subsequent phase of construction comprising two other possible structures. Three external hearths were identified, along with a number of large refuse pits which produced coarseware pottery, whetstones, rubbing stones, fragments of saddle querns, burnt bone and burnt hazelnut shells. Many of the features in the area were covered by extensive spreads of charcoal-rich material that may have represented the destruction phase of one or both of the structures. Samples taken from three of the pits were radiocarbon dated to 1450-1190 cal. BC, 1450-1110 cal. BC, and 1210-920 cal. BC. A structure (CO067-090----) was situated c. 10m to the S.

• CO067-090 Structure
  Description

  Following archaeological testing and monitoring on the N25 Youghal Bypass a circular structure (diam. 11m) defined by 20 circular post-holes was excavated in 2001. The post-holes were found to be of a similar size, shape and depth and had similar fills. There was evidence of a possible entrance feature along the E arc. Two shallow pits were discovered within the interior. The excavator (Noonan 2001b) suggested that it may have been an animal pen.
