  Description

  In pasture, on edge of steep natural slope down to flat marshy land bordering Tanyard stream. Depicted as roughly circular enclosure (diam. c.30m) on 1842, 1904 and 1936 OS 6-inch maps. Bulldozed in 1960s leaving short section of bank to E and SE. Excavated by B. O Donnabháin (1982-84) after discovery of souterrain (8912) containing ogham stones (7976, 7977) at centre during gravel quarrying in 1981. Preliminary account of first season's excavations published by O Donnabháin (1983, 217). Bank (H 1.3m) survived on E side for c. 10m, incorporated into field fence system; stone kerb (one course) on internal side; external fosse (original Wth 3m; D 2m). From landowner's description prior to destruction of site it appears likely that natural drop on N side may have functioned as defence here. Entrance to SE with causeway (Wth 5m). Interior disturbed by bulldozing activity in 1960s and before that by lazy bed cultivation; foundations of circular structure (diam. 4m) uncovered. Finds included yellow glass bead with herring bone design, rotary hone stone and William and Mary penny. Urn burial (7899) found during excavation 1984. (pers. comm.

• CO039-243 Souterrain
  Description

  This souterrain was discovered in 2003 during the construction of local-authority houses on the outskirts of Millstreet; it was subsequently excavated. It consisted of a single drystone-built chamber (L 2.5m; Wth 0.85m; H 1.07m), roofed by three large lintels. The excavator concluded that the souterrain was probably abandoned before completion as there was no evidence for an entrance and access to it was provided through the open-ended SW corner of the chamber. A large rectangular pit was found at right angles to the SE corner of the chamber, at a distance of 1.9m. It appeared to have been back-filled soon after it was dug and the occurrence of large amounts of stones indicated that an unsuccessful attempt had been made to construct stone facing. Two trenches (L 30m) that were excavated to the W and S of the souterrain did not reveal any evidence for any enclosure around the souterrain.
