- CO035-019001 Ringfort - rath
Description
In pasture, on level ground above E-facing slope. Depicted as hachured circular enclosure on 1842 OS 6-inch map; as hachured circular raised area (diam. c. 35m) on 1935 OS 6-inch map. Levelled; slight rise visible in area of site. Circular enclosure visible as cropmark of fosse in aerial photograph (CASAP). According to O'Kelly and Shee (1968, 46), remains consisted of 'platform-like structure [diam. 41m] with some evidence of a slight bank on the edge of the platform and a slight external ditch.'; 'Levelling activities in connection with the uses of the area [race-course, military airfield, golf course and driving green]...have repeatedly interfered with the site' (ibid., 45). Souterrain (CO035-01902-) at W side of interior. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
- CO035-019002 Souterrain
Description
At W side of and extending underneath bank of levelled ringfort (CO035-01901-). Recorded by O'Flanagan (1844, 101) as 'subterranean chambers'. Investigated by O'Kelly and Shee (1968, 45-6) after roof of chamber was penetrated by machinery. Initial inspection showed that chamber was previously opened at the same point and then backfilled and a large stone used to block the opening. Site consisted of roughly circular stone-built chamber (diam. c. 3m; H 2.6m) with corbelled roof; creepway (H c. 0.5m; Wth c. 0.5m) at E side to stone-built passage (min. L 4.5m; Wth c. 2m; H c. 2.3m; long axis E-W) which tapered at both ends. Dimensions of passage suggest use as a chamber also; sides and W wall corbelled to enable it to be roofed by very short light lintels; E end blocked but probing suggested that passage extended further to E. No visible surface trace. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000).

- CO035-112 Souterrain
Description
This souterrain was discovered in 2001 when roof lintels were exposed during the excavation for a wall foundation trench at a Cork County Council housing development at Pike Road, Fermoy. An opening (1.2m NE-SW; 0.5m NW-SE) was formed which allowed access to a roughly circular stone-built chamber (2.74m NE-SW; 2.54m NW-SE; H 1.7m) with a corbelled roof. The corbelling enabled the chamber to be roofed by small lintels most of which are now lying on the floor of the chamber partially covered by a mound of collapsed earth. The top of the chamber is 0.6m below original ground level. A lintelled creepway (Wth 0.6m; H 0.82m; min. L 1m) at the NE side of the chamber is blocked by earth but probably leads into a second chamber or passage. Some animal bones were noted next to the creepway and in the W side of the chamber.
