Description
On S bank of Blackwater River, within present town of Fermoy. Cistercian monastery located, according to Abbott (1928, 16), on S bank of Blackwater River 'west of the bridge'. Locally believed to have stood between Pearse Square and Abbey Street. No visible surface trace survives. Founded in 1170 by Donal Mor O'Brien (Stalley 1987, 244); in 1227 was the principal instigator in the Mellifont conspiracy (Gwynn and Hadcock 1988, 132). Dissolved in 1539-41, 'when most of its landed possessions were said to be waste' (Stalley ibid.). Later used as a parish church, when described as 'a mean Gothic building' (ibid.) Finally demolished in 1804 and materials used to construct present town; pointed stone arch incorporated into property boundary on N side of McCurtain Street, may be part of abbey (Lennon 1987, 1); font, thought to be from abbey, now in Fermoy C of I church (14704).

Description
On level ground, c. 100m W of a stream. This fulacht fia was excavated in 2003 in advance of the construction of the N8 Rathcormac-Fermoy Bypass. Excavation revealed a spread (c. 12m x 10m; max. D 0.25m) of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil much disturbed by modern field drains which extended across the spread in a NE-SW direction. Beneath the spread was a rectangular timber-lined trough (2.5m x 1.6m; D 0.37m) and immediately to the NW of it was a hearth consisting of a setting of stones. Two pits filled with burnt material were also uncovered. (O'Neill 2005, 1-47; 2006j, 60, Fermoy 4) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.

- CO035-124 Fulacht fia
Description
A small spread (diam. c. 5m) of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil were uncovered during archaeological testing of the N8 Rathcormac-Fermoy Bypass. The spread was subsequently excavated in 2003 revealing a rectangular trough (2m x 1.5m; max. D 0.4m) with rounded corners. Fragments of a charred timber lining were recovered from the base of the trough and underneath the lining were found four tiny stake-holes, one in each corner of the trough. A further two stake-holes were found outside the base lining of the trough. The results of radiocarbon analysis showed that this fulacht fia was in use from at least the Late Bronze Age to the Early Iron Age.

Description
On the summit of a hill, to the N of a spring well. A mound (13m E-W; 12m N-S; max. D 0.3m) of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil was discovered during archaeological testing in advance of the construction of the N8 Rathcormac-Fermoy Bypass and was excavated in 2003. Excavation revealed three successive subrectangular inter-cutting troughs associated with the mound. The main fill of the earliest trough has been radiocarbon dated to 2400-2140 cal. BC. A large concentration of at least 40 pits and stake-holes occurred under the mound. The pits had average dimensions of 0.4m x 0.3m x 0.15m and contained charcoal-flecked clay fills. Many of the pits contained stones at their bases and the excavator notes that they may have been post-holes though but no pattern was discernible to suggest the presence of a house or other structure. Two other fulachtaí fia (CO035-130----, CO035-131----) lay c. 10m to the SW and c. 15m to the E, respectively.

- CO035-133 Kiln - corn-drying
Description
At the foot of a steep N-facing slope. This keyhole-shaped corn-drying kiln was excavated in advance of construction along the route of the N8 Rathcormac-Fermoy Bypass in 2003. The bowl (diam. 1.5m; D 0.65m) of the kiln was cut into a natural incline and the flue (Wth 1m; D 0.5m) extended downslope to the S for a distance of 2.5m. The entire structure was lined with mainly unworked angular stones. One of the stones used to line the flue was identified as a fragment of a rotary quern. According to the excavator (O'Connell 2006, 80), another stone used to line the kiln may have been an unfinished rotary quernstone. An additional rotary quern fragment was recovered from the fill of a pit (see CO035-148----) located 15m to the W of the kiln. The hearth area at the S had been disturbed by agricultural activity. The carbonised fill of the bowl produced charred plant remains that were identified as being mainly oats. Charcoal from the same fill has been dated to 1270-1400 cal. AD. A concentration of stake-holes (CO035-148----) was located to the W of the kiln, though no definite structure was identified here.

- CO035-134 Habitation site
Description
Excavated in 2003 in advance of the construction of the N8 Rathcormac-Fermoy Bypass. A cluster of three post-holes and four pits were discovered at the N of the site. The pits and post-holes together enclosed a roughly circular area (diam. 2.5m). The pits (diam. 0.38-0.55m; D 0.15-0.2m) were generally subcircular in shape. A large sherd of probable Bronze Age pottery was recovered from the fill of one of the pits. The post-holes (av. diam. 0.3m) contained packing-stones at the sides with the fills yielding two flint scrapers and sherds of highly decorated later Bronze Age pottery. The function of the site has been interpreted as domestic based on both the archaeological remains and the pottery present. The pits and post-holes were radiocarbon dated to 2140-1780 cal. BC.

- CO035-141 Fulacht fia
Description
This fulacht fia was excavated in 2004 in advance of the construction of the N8 Rathcormac-Fermoy Bypass. It consisted of a shallow heavily disturbed mound (c. 15m N-S; 12.5m E-W) of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil underneath which was a rectangular trough (2.8m x 2.2m; D 0.6m). The presence of oak fragments in the base of the trough suggests that it may have been timber-lined originally. Two post-holes and a subrectangular pit (0.65m x 0.45m; D 0.2m) were found in close proximity to the trough. The fulacht fia was radiocarbon-dated to cal. BC 384-203 (UB-6834), an early Iron Age date. A second associated circular pit (1.5m x 1.4m; D 0.35m), filled with clay containing burnt stone and charcoal, was located c. 15m to the E of the fulacht fia.

- CO035-144 Fulacht fia
Description
This fulacht fia, located to the W of the bed of a diverted stream, was excavated in 2005 in advance of the construction of the N8 Rathcormac-Fermoy Bypass. It consisted of a spread (c. 10m x 9m) of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil which overlay a trough, two pits, a possible second trough and a hearth. A total of 61 stake-holes were associated with the trough and the hearth. The trough (2.15m x 1.46m; D 0.48m) was rectangular and some of the stake-holes associated with it probably held a timber lining in place. The S corner of the trough was truncated by a pit (1.8m x 1.1m; D 0.53m) which may have been a second trough. The hearth (1.5m x 1.1m; D 0.05m) was located to the NW of the trough and its N edge was defined by 16 stake-holes. A further three stake-holes were located to the W of the hearth. The possible trough also truncated the N side of a pit (1.7m x 1.4m; D 0.35m). Another smaller pit (0.6m x 0.55m; D 0.45m) was found to the SE of the trough. Two groups of Bronze Age features (CO035-145----, CO035-146----) were excavated to the NE and SE of this fulacht fia.

- CO035-145 Excavation - miscellaneous
Description
This group of features, located to the S of the bed of a diverted stream, was partially excavated in 2005 in advance of the construction of the N8 Rathcormac-Fermoy Bypass. The first of these comprised a curved feature (L c. 5.4m; Wth 1.2m; D 0.4m) which extended to the E, beyond the excavated area. It was filled with a black sandy silt which had inclusions of heat-shattered stones and charcoal. Between this feature and the stream bed was a stony spread (L 2m; D 0.16m) which overlay two pits: a large pit (1.1m x 0.42m; D 0.39m) and a smaller pit (0.4m x 0.23m; D 0.17m). The pits were situated 1.75m apart and both had been truncated by the stream bed. The fill of the larger of the pits included charcoal and heat-shattered stones. A further four pits, the smallest of which measured 0.54m x 0.53m; D 0.22m, and two stake-holes were excavated to the S of the linear feature. A flint flake was recovered from the fill of one of the pits. The fill from the largest of these pits (1.84m x 1.42m; D 0.3m) was radiocarbon-dated to the early Bronze Age, 2335-2036 cal. BC.

- CO035-146 Excavation - miscellaneous
Description
This group of features, located to the N of the bed of a diverted stream, was partially excavated in 2005 in advance of the construction of the N8 Rathcormac-Fermoy Bypass. The features comprised four pits, six post-holes, six stake-holes, a metalled surface and a fosse. Pit 1 (0.86m x 0.51m; D 0.19m) contained three fills of silt and charcoal. Pit 2 (0.97m x 0.76m; D 0.1m) contained a single fill which included heat-shattered stone and charcoal. Pit 3 (0.5m x 0.4m; D 0.37m) contained two fills, one of which contained heat-shattered stone and charcoal. Pit 4 (1.3m x 1.2m; D 0.47m) contained a silty clay fill with charcoal. All of the features were found immediately to the NE of a fulacht fia (CO035-144----) and to the N of a group of Early Bronze Age features (CO035-145----). The excavator suggested that the pits, post-holes and stake-holes were probably associated with the fulacht fia immediately to the SW. The metalled surface (1.5m x 1.1m; D 0.12m) was set in a hollow which was cut by the diverted stream. It was also cut by one of the four pits. It was not possible to determine whether a portion of a fosse (Wth 2.2m; D 0.28m) was contemporary with other activity in this area.

- CO035-148 Excavation - miscellaneous
Description
A concentration of twenty stake-holes were excavated in 2003 in advance of the construction of the N8 Rathcormac-Fermoy Bypass. The stake-holes ranged in size (av. diam. 0.1-0.9m; av. D 0.1-0.9m) and were mainly circular or subcircular in plan. They were clustered immediately to the W of a corn-drying kiln (CO035-133----) but no discernible pattern was apparent. According to the excavator (O'Connell 2006i, 39), there were no stratigraphic or spatial evidence to group these features in association with the kiln. A number of dispersed pits were also recorded in this area. The fill of one of these pits contained frequent charcoal inclusions and occasional heat-shattered stones. A number of artefacts including metal, pottery and a fragment of a rotary quernstone were also included in the fill.

- CO035-149 Excavation - miscellaneous
Description
This pit was excavated in 2003 in advance of the construction of the N8 Rathcormac-Fermoy Bypass. The pit (diam. 1.1m; D 0.36m) was subcircular in plan and was cut at the S by a modern water pipe. The pit contained two fills that each comprised quantities of burnt stone and charcoal. Charcoal from the primary fill has been dated to 3510-3020 cal. BC (O'Connell 2006i, 75). The final fill of the trough was overlain by material from a fulacht fia (CO035-131----), situated c. 3.5m to the N. According to the excavator (ibid.), the function of this pit is somewhat enigmatic, however the presence of burnt and fire-cracked stones within both fills is an indication that it may have employed a similar function to a burnt mound trough.
