- CO076-117 Burnt mound
Description
In tillage. A spread of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil, which had been cut by a drain, was noted here in 1996 (pers. comm. Joan Rockley). This spread was not located in 2002 as there was a high cereal crop in the field. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
- CO076-126 Burnt mound
Description
In tillage, on level ground, near the top of a hill. A roughly oval mound (18m E-W; 9m N-S; H 0.4m) of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil, on the S side of a field boundary. A spring well, which was indicated on the 1934 OS 6-inch map on the N side of the field boundary, appears to have been drained. The ground adjacent to the burnt mound to the E, S and W becomes waterlogged in winter and is being covered with rubble. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
