- CO076-026 Fulacht fia
Description
Spread of burnt material discovered during construction of gas pipeline; unexcavated. (Cleary et al. 1987, 8, no. 81) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
- CO076-118 Souterrain
Description
In 2002 a small circular opening appeared in the surface of the W side of a road which connects the main Midleton-Youghal road with the Midleton-Dongourney road. This opening allowed access into a stone-built souterrain that was investigated in 2002. The souterrain consists of a short straight passage (7.27m E-W; 0.97m N-S; H 0.52-0.95m) with drystone walls and roofed with lintels which lies 0.2m under the road. The collapse of one of the roof lintels, towards the centre of the passage, led to the subsidence on the road surface. The W end of the passage is a dead end while at the E end the walls and roof have collapsed impeding any further investigation. The digging of a deep roadside drain in the past may have resulted in this collapse. Following investigation, the displaced capstone was removed and precast concrete lintels were placed over the opening. A cast in situ concrete slab was then placed over the lintels and the road surface was reinstated. (McCarthy 2002b) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
