Circular area (30.2m N-S) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 1m), with substantial external fosse (D 2m); second bank (H 1.25m) survives WSW->ESE, with shallow fosse. Interior slopes gently down to SW, scored with trenches running N-S; possible souterrain (CO064-004002-) in N half. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994).

- CO064-151: Burnt mound, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCO064-151----. In wet pasture, at the junction of two streams. An irregularly shaped mound (c. 8m N-S; c. 8m E-W; H 0.45m) of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
- CO064-152: Fulacht fia, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCO064-152----. In pasture, 13m W of a stream at the base of a steep-sided glen. This fulacht fia was excavated in 2000 in advance of the N8 Glanmire-Watergrasshill Bypass. Prior to excavation, it was described as a low grass-covered mound (c. 20m x c. 20m) of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil. Excavation revealed that the mound (c. 27m N-S; 19m E-W; max. D 1m) covered a hearth. The hearth consisted of 2-3 courses of a low stone wall enclosing a horseshoe-shaped area (2.3m E-W; 1.5m N-S) with its opening facing E. A post-hole marked each terminal of the wall. A trough was found immediately to the E of the hearth. It consisted of a pit (min. 4.6m E-W; c. 1.2m N-S; D 0.25-0.65m), the E side of which was truncated by modern drainage works. Both the N and S sides of the pit were lined with rubble stone walling, much of which had collapsed. In the pit was found the remains of an oak trough (min. L 3m; Wth 0.7m; D 0.2m) formed by splitting an oak tree longitudinally and then hollowing out one half in a similar fashion to a dugout canoe. Two grooves cut on the underside of the trough, at its W end, were interpreted by the excavator as attachments for ropes to facilitate movement of the trough. Dendrochronological analysis of the trough estimated a felling date range for the tree of 1535±9 BC. A sample of charcoal from within the hearth yielded a calibrated radiocarbon date of 1409 BC. The slightly earlier date for the trough suggests that it may have been reused. A second fulacht fia (CO064-152001-) c. 30m to the SE on the E side of the stream was also excavated. (Cotter 2002b, 48-9; 2005d) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
