- CO075-082 Fulacht fia
Description
Excavated in 1999 in advance of the development of an industrial and retail complex on Little Island in Cork harbour. There were no visible remains of the levelled fulacht fia prior to the removal of the topsoil. Excavation revealed a D-shaped spread (10.46m E-W; straight W side: L 9.6m N-S; D 0.1-0.45m) of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil covering a trough which consisted of two conjoined unlined pits. The western pit was circular (diam. 1.45m; D 0.5m) and the eastern pit (2m E-W; 1.92m N-S; D 0.25m) was subcircular and they were divided by a stone slab (L c. 0.6m). Both pits were filled with charcoal-enriched silt and heat-shattered stones. Three small stake-holes were found to the S of the trough while a post-hole was exposed close its N edge. Four pits were also found in the vicinity of the trough, the largest of which may also have functioned as a trough. A modern N-S land drain crossed the fulacht fia off-centre to the W. Radiocarbon determinations place the use of this fulacht fia in the Late Bronze Age. A possible corn-drying kiln (CO075-084----), dating to the early medieval period, and two linear features (CO075-085----, CO075-086----), that were interpreted as flues, immediately to the E were also excavated.

- CO075-084 Kiln - corn-drying
Description
Excavated in 1999 in advance of the development of an industrial and retail complex on Little Island in Cork harbour. There were no visible remains of this possible corn-drying kiln prior to the removal of the topsoil. It consisted of a linear stone-lined feature (2.2m E-W; 0.5-0.84m N-S; max. D 0.4m), divided roughly in half by fire-reddened stone. It was filled with charcoal-enriched deposits and red oxidised soil resulting from intense burning. A large quantity of charred cereal grain recovered form the fill led the excavator to conclude that this feature may have functioned as a cereal-drying kiln. The cereal remains yielded a radiocarbon date which placed the use of this kiln in the 5th/6th century AD. Two possible kiln flues (CO075-085----, CO075-086----) and a Bronze Age fulacht fia (CO075-082----) were also excavated in the immediate vicinity.

- CO075-085 Kiln - corn-drying
Description
Excavated in 1999 in advance of the development of an industrial and retail complex on Little Island in Cork harbour. A linear stone-lined feature (L 3.54m; Wth 0.63m; D. 0.4m), uncovered in an extensive area of burning, was interpreted by the excavator (McCarthy 2004a, 60) as a probable kiln flue. The SW end of this feature cut a subrectangular pit (0.76m N-S; 0.48m E-W; D 0.56m) with sloping sides and a rounded base. This pit contained sand with charcoal, small stones and pebbles. A second pit (L 0.95m; 0.22m) found c. 0.2m S of the linear feature was linear with steep sides and a flat base and it was filled with charcoal-flecked sand, heat-shattered stones and ash. A similar feature (CO075-086----), an early medieval possible corn-drying kiln (CO075-084----) and a Bronze Age fulacht fia (CO075-082----) were also excavated in the immediate vicinity.

- CO075-086 Kiln - corn-drying
Description
Excavated in 1999 in advance of the development of an industrial and retail complex on Little Island in Cork harbour. A linear stone-lined feature (L 4.2m; Wth 1.18m; D. c. 0.27m) which was uncovered during the excavation was interpreted by the excavator (McCarthy 2004a, 60) as a probable kiln flue. The feature was divided internally by a row of stones, aligned E-W. The base and sides of the feature showed evidence of intense burning and it was filled with silt, heat-shattered stones and long stems of burnt wood. Two pits were recorded in the base of the feature, one at the W end and the other 1.6m to the E. The W pit was rectangular in plan with straight sides and was filled with silt, heat-shattered stones and charcoal. The smaller E pit (0.3m E-W; 0.29m N-S; D 0.11m) was roughly circular in plan filled with sand, pebbles and small stones. A similar feature (CO075-085----), an early medieval possible corn-drying kiln (CO075-084----) and a Bronze Age fulacht fia (CO075-082----) were also excavated in the immediate vicinity.
