• CO044-070 Burnt mound
  Description

  In a hollow in a ploughed field, on a gentle E-facing slope. A spread (20m NW-SE; min. 17m NE-SW) of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil. Another possible burnt mound (CO044-099----) lies c. 70m to the SE. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

• CO044-083 Habitation site
  Description

  This habitation site was excavated in 2003 in advance of the construction of the N8 Rathcormac-Fermoy Bypass. A total of 65 features of archaeological significance were identified. These included two concentrations of stake- and post-hole activity, three hearths, a number of oxidised clay spreads and a number of pits. One of the hearths was radiocarbon dated to 6250-6040 BC. Other Mesolithic evidence took the form of two worn flint microliths which were retrieved from the fill of one of the pits (O'Neill 2006i, 48). These microliths however may have been redeposited as radiocarbon analysis produced a Neolithic date of 3090-2580 BC for this pit (ibid.). The two other hearths returned dates of 2140-1870 BC and 1870-1520 BC. The closely related ranges for these hearths may, according to O'Neill (ibid., 50), represent the abandonment of one hearth and the commencement of use of the other. Three of the pits, which were located towards the N end of the excavation area, contained a large quantity of Mid-Western Neolithic pottery. Other finds from various locations included flint debitage. A post-hole from one of two flimsy structures identified returned a date of 1970-1630 BC. According to O'Neill (ibid., 51), these structures did not contain any evidence of industrial activity or domestic occupation and it is very probable that the Bronze Age activity on the site was seasonal and temporary.

• CO044-098 Hearth
  Description

  A small hearth was discovered as a result of archaeological testing carried out in advance of construction of the N8 Rathcormac-Fermoy Bypass. This hearth (0.6m x 1.6m; D 0.26m) was oval in shape with gradually sloping sides and an uneven base. It contained loose mid-brown/black silty clay with small angular stones with very occasional flecks of charcoal. No finds were recovered from the fill. According to the excavator (O'Neill pers. comm.), this hearth is similar to and may have been related to another hearth excavated at the Neolithic habitation site (CO044-083----), c. 500m away in the same townland.

• CO044-099 Burnt mound
  Description

  Excavated in 2003 in advance of the construction of the N8 Rathcormac-Fermoy Bypass. A roughly oval spread (0.56m x 1.22m; D 0.09m) of compact black-brown sandy silt containing frequent flecks of charcoal with small broken heat-shattered angular stones and larger heavy angular stones (pers. comm. Tara O'Neill). The excavator suggested that this spread may be associated with another possible burnt mound (CO044-070----) c. 70m to the NW and outside of the road take.

• CO044-100 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  Discovered as a result of archaeological testing in 2002 and subsequently excavated in 2003 in advance of construction of the N8 Rathcormac-Fermoy Bypass. Excavation revealed a curvilinear feature (0.47m x 6.51m; D 0.17m) with gradually sloping sides and a flat base forming a U-shaped profile. It contained a compact light-brown sandy silt with occasional flecks of charcoal and small angular stones. The fill yielded a single sherd of Middle Bronze Age pottery.
