Recorded monuments

• CO077-013 Barrow - mound barrow
  Description

  In pasture, atop hillock. According to local information, mound levelled and spread over field. O'Kelly (1945, 16-17) described circular mound (c. 24ft E-W; c. 23ft N-S; max. H 6ft) with two small stones protruding at E side. Tumulus (CO077-01201-) lies 350m to N. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.

• CO077-077 Burial
  Description

  According to Fitzgerald (1858, 13-4) 'in 1805 a man was quarrying on Knockane, close to the present coach road, and nearby opposite Ballindinasgate', when he found 'a human skeleton, partly shrouded in a winding sheet of corrugated, or embossed plates of pure gold, connected by bits of wire, he also found some amber beads'. The gold was melted down except for one plate (see ill. Crocker 1824, 253; Day 1899, 413-4) now in National Museum of Ireland. Taylor (1980, 49) describes it as 'interesting trapezoid....seems to have been wired to something as it is riddled with holes....its decoration of chevrons suggests the Food Vessel period' (i.e. Early Bronze Age). 1935 OS 6-inch map indicates 'caves' in location identified by Fitzgerald (ibid.). In immediate vicinity are a number of prehistoric tumuli (CO077-012001-, CO077-008001-, CO077-009001-, CO077-010----, CO077-011----, CO077-013----).
