• CO024-102 Quarry
  Description

  Listed as a ‘quarry’ in the SMR (1988) and the RMP (1998). The evidence is not sufficient to warrant accepting this as the location of an archaeological monument. Compiled by: Matt Kelleher Date of upload: 12 September 2014

• CO024-103 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on gentle W-facing slope. Circular area enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.85m) S->WSW; scarp WSW->NW; earthen bank continuing round to E and S. To SSE, instead of finishing line of circle, this bank continues outside inner arc of bank truncated to SW by N-S field fence bordering roadway. Intervening shallow fosse between inner and outer banks SSE->SW, truncated by roadway to W; fosse continues NW->SW as outer fosse, partially infilled to N and E, shallow to S. Numerous cattle breaks in bank. Appears to be remains of bivallate enclosure with only slight remains of inner bank and outer bank truncated on W side by boundary. Possible souterrain (CO024-201---) associated with site. 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

• CO024-104 Kiln - lime

  In quarry, on N side of road, overgrown early 20th-century kiln. Ashlar limestone walls encase earthen core. Front elevation (S) has arched recess. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000).

• CO024-105002 Graveyard
  Description

  In pasture, on break in E-facing slope. Subrectangular graveyard (max. c. 85m WSW-ENE; max. c. 100m NNW-SSE) defined by scarp (H 1m) with slight internal lip S->NW; low bank with external scarp elsewhere (int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.8m); gaps in bank to W, NE and S. Only gravemarkers are some low uninscribed stones at SE corner. Ruin of parish church of Dromdowney (14415) in SE quadrant. Sharp fall in ground just E of church; low E-W bank (H c. 0.5m; L 33.5m) to N of church, with gap (Wth 2.5m) in centre. Between SW corner of church and enclosing bank is subrectangular depression (8m N-S; 9m E-W; D c. 1m), lined with loose stones, open-ended to E; second larger, less well-defined depression SE of church. Four cairns, probably the result of field clearance, in NW quadrant. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.

• CO024-105003 Church
  Description

  Towards SE corner of graveyard (14572). Ruin of rectangular church (17.4m ENE-WSW; 7.3m NNW-SSE), built of limestone rubble, on ground sloping noticeably down to E. Interior of church densely overgrown. Upper part of E gable heavily ivy-clad; central window has rectangular light divided by mullion and transom. Under window is entrance to burial crypt inserted into E end of church, with wrought iron gate. South and N walls are higher to E (H c. 2m) than to W (H c. 1.4m) due to fall in ground, upper courses ivy-clad, massive boulders used in walling at W end. West gable (max. H 2.5m) had central doorway; door surround has cut-stone jambs supporting lintel which is re-used head of two-light mullioned window of late-medieval type. According to local information (Power 1932, 117-8), stones from church were used to build nearby railway bridge. Landowner, Colonel Beare, made crypt under E end of church and was buried there in 1850 (Grove White 1905-25, vol. 2, 255); it is likely that he also rebuilt parts of church. Probably remains of Dromdowney parish church, though 1842 OS 6-inch map shows Copsetown townland outside N boundary of Dromdowney and in Ballyclogh parish. Dromdowney church reported 'in ruins' in 1615 (Brady 1863, vol. 2, 28). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.

  Description

  In ringfort (CO024-103---). Grove White (1905-25, vol. 2, 255) recorded that workmen digging in ditch of fort exposed a flagstone which was immediately covered in. This was possibly lintel of souterrain. No visible surface trace. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.
