  Description

  Archaeological testing was carried out in advance of a large multi-phase housing development at Carrigaline Middle in 2001. Two pits were uncovered immediately W of a rath (CO087-030----).

  During archaeological test-trenching in advance of a housing development, a pit (c. 0.35m x 0.25m; D 0.15m) was discovered. The pit contained a dark charcoal-rich fill with inclusions of cremated bone. The eastern side and base of the pit appeared to be delineated by two relatively flat pieces of limestone. The pit shares similar characteristics with two other pit-burials (CO087-138----; CO087-140----) found in the vicinity.

  Description

  Archaeological testing was carried out in advance of a large multi-phase housing development at Carrigaline Middle in 2001. A feature, uncovered in trench I, was situated c. 5.5m to the NNW of a rath (CO087-030----). The feature was initially identified in a geophysical survey as a large subcircular anomaly, measuring c. 10m in diameter. The feature and its fill, recorded as a compact, silty, stony material, was excavated to a depth of 1.7m below surface level before safety issues precluded any further excavation.

• CO087-138 Pit-burial
  Description

  During archaeological test-trenching in advance of a housing development, a pit (diam. 0.28m; D 0.15m) was discovered. The pit contained a dark charcoal-rich fill with inclusions of cremated bone. A piece of limestone appears to define the northern edge of the pit. The pit shares similar characteristics with two other pit-burials (CO087-135----; CO087-140----) found in the vicinity.

• CO087-140 Pit-burial
  Description

  During archaeological test-trenching in advance of a housing development, a subcircular pit (0.5m x 0.3m) was discovered. The pit contained a dark brownish-black humic silty-clay with frequent charcoal inclusions and occasional fragments of burnt bone and heat-fractured angular stones (c. 40mm long). A relatively large piece of limestone was noted immediately to the north of the deposit and appeared to underlie the material. The pit shares similar characteristics with two other pit-burials (CO087-135----; CO087-138----) found in the vicinity.

• CO087-142 Font
  Description

  In the transept on the N side of St Mary's C of I church (vol. 2, 5698), in Carrigaline. A stone baptismal font (H 1.05m) comprising an octagonal basin with a circular hollow, supported by an octagonal shaft and pedestal. The circumference of the basin is c. 0.6m. The basin contains a drainage hole and on one of the eight sides there is a smooth depression, probably for resting the arm of the person holding the infant being baptised. The basin bears an inscription 'ANO DOM WD:WG: CHURWA 1637 R/N' (see Pl. ?). The M of ANO DOM is damaged. WD and WG are the initials of two church wardens and the letters of the third line of the inscription, which have been incorrectly blackened, and those of the fourth line represent the words church warden (pers. comm. Conleth Manning). The present church was built in 1823 on the site of a church built in 1723 which itself was built on the site of an earlier church demolished 'during the early months of 1723' (O'Mahony 1993, 69). The commemoration stone of the 1723 church survives in the present church. It bears the names Philip Gillman and Richard Dorman who are described as 'Church Wardens'; these may be descendants of the church wardens whose initials were WG and WD as the post of church warden was often hereditary.

Two raths (CO087-030----; CO087-031----) are located 54m and 140m to the SSE and E, respectively.
