Recorded monuments

• CO077-089 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  A group of seven features was discovered during archaeological monitoring of topsoil removal in advance of a housing development to the E of Castlemartyr; these were excavated in 2003. The features comprised five circular/oval pits (dims. of largest pit: 1.11m x 1.22m; D 0.29m), one circular depression (diam. 0.7m; D 0.12m) and one linear feature (L 4.36m; Wth 0.42m; max. D 0.2m), all with a burnt stone content. They all occurred in close proximity in an area measuring c. 17m N-S by 9m E-W. The excavator concluded that these features may have been roasting pits and therefore part of a cooking site though the absence of heat-shattered stones around the features suggests that they had a short-term use. Deep ploughing in the area is thought likely to have truncated the upper levels of the features exposed and any other associated features. No finds were recovered from any of the features which makes their dating difficult. (Lane et al. 2003; Lane 2006b, 45, no. 197) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).

• CO077-091 Kiln - corn-drying
  Description

  This corn-drying kiln was excavated in 2004 in advance of the construction of a housing development to the E of Castlemartyr village. The kiln comprised two circular pits, at the N and S, linked by a stone-lined flue (L 3m; Wth 0.4m; D 0.4m). The N pit (diam. 1.4m; D 0.45m), which was circular in plan, was stone-lined. The S pit (diam c. 1.2m; D 0.3m), which was subcircular in plan, was unlined. The sides of the S pit were oxidised. Both pits were filled with black charcoal-enriched soil with medium-sized limestone fragments. A lintel stone was situated at the mid-point of the flue. In situ burning was evident only to the S of the lintel. According to the excavator (Lane 2007a, 47), it is possible that this was a corn-drying kiln that was reused as a limekiln.

• CO077-092 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  Two features were discovered during archaeological monitoring of topsoil removal in advance of a housing development to the E of Castlemartyr; these were excavated in 2004. One feature comprised an irregular pit (D c. 0.4m) containing charcoal and some Neolithic pottery. The second feature consisted of a rectangular spread (1.85m x 1.1m; D 0.14m) of charcoal, possibly the result of in situ burning. Deep ploughing is likely to have truncated the upper levels of the features exposed and any other associated features. Two other features were also discovered but excavation confirmed that these were of modern date. (Lane 2007b, 47) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
