Recorded monuments
- CO044-085 Fulacht fia
Description
This fulacht fia was excavated in 2003 in advance of the construction of the N8 Rathcormac-Fermoy Bypass. Excavation revealed a thin scatter of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil, an oval trough (1.6m x 1.24m; D 0.54m) with three associated stake-holes, a smaller irregular pit and two post-holes. (Cotter 2006f, 61) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
- CO044-086 Charcoal-making site
Description
Excavation in advance of the construction of the N8 Rathcormac-Fermoy Bypass in 2003 uncovered two circular pits: one (diam. 1m; D 0.1m) and the second (diam. 0.6m; D 0.26m). Three stake-holes were uncovered close to one of the pits. Both pits showed evidence of intense burning and contained layers of charcoal. According to the excavator (Cotter 2006f, 61), these are believed to have been charcoal production pits. This charcoal-making site is probably of a similar date to another one (CO044-088----), situated c. 350m to the NNE, which returned a radiocarbon date of AD1420-1640.
