• CO087-120 Midden
  Description

  This shell midden was discovered in 2005 during monitoring of pipe-laying, 7m S of the gate leading to Castlewarren tower house (CO087-052001-). Trenching for a sewer pipe uncovered the E edge of this shell midden, located c. 1m below the ground surface. The exposed portion of the midden (T c. 0.5m) consisted of shells. According to the excavator (Cotter 2005, 10), no attempt was made to remove any of the deposit as it was sealed when the sewer trench was backfilled.

• CO087-132 Burnt pit
  Description

  In 1996 a circular, shallow, fire-reddened pit (diam. 0.75m) was discovered during archaeological test-trenching in advance of the construction of a factory. The pit was filled with charcoal and ash. A millstone and two incomplete fragments of millstones were also discovered in the vicinity but no archaeological structures that could be associated with the millstones were revealed. Subsequent archaeological monitoring did not reveal any further archaeological features. (O'Donovan 1996; 1997, 10) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.

• CO087-145 Burnt spread
  Description

  A charcoal-enriched spread (10m E-W; D 0.15m) was discovered during archaeological testing in 2004 in advance of the construction of a proposed factory. Evidence from a geophysical survey indicates that the spread extends in a N-S direction for c. 23m. The spread overlay a circular silty clay deposit (diam. 0.5m) which was interpreted as the fill of a possible pit or post-hole. This burnt spread was found c. 20m to the NW of a rath (CO087-048----). A corn-drying kiln (CO087-146----) was also found during test-trenching c. 40m to the S. (Cummins 2005; 2007, 45) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.

• CO087-146 Kiln - corn-drying
  Description

  The remains of a keyhole-shaped kiln was identified during archaeological testing in 2004 as part of a pre-development assessment of a potential factory site. An anomaly, identified by geophysical survey, was investigated in this area, c. 10m to the WSW of a rath (CO087-048----). It comprised a circular charcoal-enriched deposit (diam. 1.5m) and appeared to be lined with a number of stones. This was interpreted as the bowl of a kiln that had been cut into the natural subsoil. According to Cummins (2007, 45) a narrow deposit of charcoal-enriched soil which extended to the W appeared to be the fill of a flue. The kiln was preserved in situ pending further developments in the area. Its proximity to the rath suggests an early medieval date but archaeological excavation is necessary to confirm this. A possible corn-drying kiln (CO087-156----) was identified c. 8 to the N of this kiln. A burnt spread (CO087-145----) was also found c. 40m to the N.

• CO087-147 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  Following a monitoring programme on the N28 Cork (Bloomfield)-Ringaskiddy road scheme, a test-trench revealed a small stake-hole and a shallow pit with a silty, charcoal fill. Though undated, it was, according to the excavator (Hanley 2004, 10), suspected to be of a prehistoric date.

• CO087-148 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  Following a monitoring programme on the N28 Cork (Bloomfield)-Ringaskiddy road scheme, a test-trench produced a single circular pit (diam. 1m; D 0.4m) with a silty charcoal flecked fill (Hanley 2004, 14; 2007, 45).

• CO087-155 Enclosure
  Description

  As part of the route selection process for the proposed N28 Bloomfield-Ringaskiddy road, a series of investigations, including geophysical survey, were undertaken to assess the archaeological potential of lands adjacent to the tower house (CO087-052001-), known as Castle Warren. Geophysical survey revealed a complex of features defined by fosses in an area c. 260m to the NE of the tower house (Roseveare and Roseveare 2004). This complex of features comprised a set of interlocking enclosures 'typical of bronze or iron age unenclosed settlement' (ibid.).

• CO087-156 Kiln - corn-drying
  Description

  The remains of a possible corn-drying kiln was identified during archaeological testing in 2004 as part of a pre-development assessment of a potential factory site. An anomaly, identified by geophysical survey, was investigated in this area, c. 10m to the W of a rath (CO087-048----) and 8m to the N of another kiln (CO087-146----). It was identified as an E-W orientated linear feature (Wth 0.2m) comprising a deposit of charcoal-enriched soil. Though the function of the feature was unclear, the excavator (Cummins 2007, 45) states that this deposit may have been the fill of the flue of a corn-drying kiln. Its proximity to the rath suggests an early medieval date but archaeological excavation is necessary to confirm this.
