  Description

  In tillage, on gentle S-facing slope. According to local information, burial ground in this field. No visible surface trace of burial ground. Circular enclosure (13562), site of church and horizontal-wheeled mill (14489,14058) in adjoining field to E. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000).

• CO024-016001 Water mill - horizontal-wheeled
  Description

  In tillage, on gentle S-facing slope and just N of deep stream valley (dry at time of visit); circular enclosure (13562) a short distance to E. Though marked on 1937 OS 6-inch map as site of fulacht fiadh and mentioned as such by Bowman (1934, 420), no evidence of fulacht fiadh material was noted. Grove White (1905-25, vol. 2, 64-5) recounted a story of a man who, following a dream, dug for gold in an old rath (probably 13562). This led to the discovery of the remains of a horizontal wheeled mill, described as 'a perfect tank, twelve feet square, and three deep, made of black oak, each plank four inches thick, it resting upon four pillars or legs two feet high and one foot square. Into the tank was a shoot as if to convey water, one foot wide at the mouth and made of the same description of timber' (ibid.). No visible surface trace of site evident.

Recorded by Bowman (1934, 419-20) as single-ramparted fort (diam. c. 41yd), situated in a glen, on Mr Power's land; 'about half the circuit stands' (H c. 4ft); possible church at centre (14489).

• CO024-018 Cist
  Description

  Discovered during limestone quarrying in June 1932, much disturbed by workmen before investigation. Encrusted Urn, inverted over cremated remains on small flagstone (D 0.175m) (Doody 1986, Cork No. 34). Quartz crystal associated with burial. Form of burial unclear; Power (1933, 222) described 'a very rude cist composed of kerbstones not more than seven inches high and laid on edge'; Waddell (1990, 61) surmises that burial was 'pit protected by a few stones'. Urn described by Kavanagh (1973, 537): 'rim bevelled outwardly...ornamented with...criss-cross hatching; internally decoration...in two tiers with four rows of alternating short oblique lines; externally decoration has ...row of hollow impressions [beneath rim] followed by...herring-bone pattern; 3cm below rim...small hollow discs...separated by applied ribs...terminated by indented cordon...at maximum diameter of vessel; ornamentation continues with [repeated pattern of] applied [oblique] ribs...alternating between cordons'. Both Kavanagha (ibid.) and Doody (ibid.) mistakingly locate site in a Kilbarry townland on Cork OS 6" sheet 36.
