Recorded monuments
- CO020-026001 Fulacht fia
Description
In a meadow at the edge of forestry, with a marshy area immediately to the N. A possible fulacht fia was identified here in 2002 prior to forestry planting (pers. comm. John Roche) but it could not be located in 2004. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
- CO020-026002 Burnt mound
Description
In a coniferous plantation, on a NNE-facing slope. A large mound (diam. c. 18m) of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil, densely covered with overgrowth of ferns and briars. The burnt material is visible in section in a trench (D 1m) which has been cut through the mound. A hawthorn tree grows on the mound. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
- CO020-026003 Burnt mound
Description
In a meadow, on a NE-facing slope. A spread of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil was noted for c. 13m in a N-S direction along the line of a levelled field boundary, where the meadow grass is patchy. Due to the grass cover, it was not possible to establish the shape of the spread, but it was visible for c. 1-2m on either side of the line of the levelled boundary. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
