- CO023-157001 Ringfort - rath
Description
In tillage, towards bottom of S-facing slope, overlooking Awbeg River. Depicted as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 50m) on 1842 and 1905 OS 6-inch maps; hachured as circular area (diam. c. 40m) enclosed by fosse on 1937 OS 6-inch map. Levelled; no visible surface trace of site. Excavated (as Ringfort 3) by Dermot C. Twohig in 1973 (Twohig 1990, 1-32), along with two other ringforts (CO023-15801-; O023-15901-), due to impending quarry development. At time of excavation, bank (H 1.3m) of ringfort (diam. c. 45m) survived for most of its circumference, with external fosse (D 0.8m); causewayed entrance to SSW. Excavations in area of bank and fosse revealed that bank was constructed in two phases. Entrance area showed evidence for gravel and cobbled surface which extended over full area of causeway and into interior for about 6m; no evidence for gate across entrance (Wth c. 5m). Excavation in interior revealed two different sets of cultivation ridges. At centre, rectangular enclosure (7m x 6m) defined by lines of post-holes; no evidence found for internal posts, hearths, pits or habitation debris; finds from vicinity include a blue glass bead, a flint flake and a whetstone; enclosure interpreted as an animal pen. Pre-fort linear trench (CO023-15702-) also found during excavation. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.

- CO023-157002 Field system
Description
During excavation of ringfort (CO023-15701-), a pre-fort linear trench (D 0.9m; Wth 0.58m at base, 1.3m at top) was found crossing interior off-centre on NE-SW axis (Twohig 1990, 19-30). Trench excavated for distance of 40m and found to extend both NE and SW of ringfort; excavated cutting through bank in SE quadrant of ringfort revealed that 'the linear trench had provided the building material for a small field bank, the remains of which had survived adjacent to the trench' and that it had been only 'partly backfilled'; 'the bank had survived to a height of about 0.3m' when bank of ringfort was built (ibid.). Similar trenches (CO023-15802-) associated with ringforts (CO023-15801-; CO023-15901-) c. 350m to NE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.

- CO023-158001 Ringfort - rath
Description
In tillage, on S-facing slope, overlooking Awbeg River. Depicted as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 50m) on 1842 OS 6-inch map, immediately to NNE of second ringfort (CO023-15901-). Levelled; no visible surface trace of site. Excavated (as Ringfort 1) by Dermot C. Twohig in 1972 (Twohig 1990, 1-32), along with two other ringforts (CO023-15701-; CO023-15901-), due to impending quarry development. At time of excavation a short segment of bank remained to N, incorporated into field fence system, and short segments of backfilled fosse visible as shallow depressions. Excavation showed site to be univallate ringfort, elliptical in plan (max. diam. 60m NE-SW; min. diam. 45m NW-SE); fosse of ringfort 1 and 2 (CO023-15901-) separated by only c. 2m of ground. Section through N bank (H 1.5m) revealed U-shaped fosse (D 1.2m); palisade trench, containing stone-packed sockets of palisade posts, found beneath collapsed outer face of bank. Evidence for habitation, from SW quadrant, consisted of two circular houses (diam. 6m), one rectangular house (7m x 5.5m) and three hearth sites. Finds included a bronze buckle, iron knives, spindle-whorl fragments, whetstones, upper stone of rotary quern, a crucible fragment, sherds of E-ware pottery and both human and animal bone remains. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000).

- CO023-158002 Field system
Description
Five separate pre-fort linear trenches uncovered during excavation of ringforts (CO023-158001-; CO023-159001-) (Twohig 1990, 3-4). Excavator concluded that trenches had supplied material for a series of field banks, though it was not possible to establish 'the time-lapse between the field systems and the construction of the ringforts' (ibid., 26). Similar system (CO023-157002-) associated with ringfort (CO023-157001-) c. 350m to SW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009

Description
In tillage, on S-facing slope, overlooking Awbeg River. Depicted as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) on 1842 OS 6-inch map, immediately to SSW of second ringfort (CO023-15801-). Levelled; no visible surface trace of site. Excavated (as Ringfort 2) by Dermot C. Twohig in 1972 (Twohig 1990, 1-32), along with two other ringforts (CO023-15701-; CO023-15801-), due to impending quarry development. At time of excavation short segments of backfilled ditch were visible as shallow depressions. Excavation showed site to be an almost circular univallate ringfort (diam. c. 50m), separated from Ringfort 1 (CO023-15801-) by short stretch of ground (Wth c. 2m); causewayed entrance (Wth 3m) to S. No evidence for habitation found in excavated areas; short cobbled pathway uncovered at W edge; limekiln built into bank in SE quadrant.

- CO023-293 Linkardstown burial
Description
Found during preparation of cliff face for quarry blasting in May 1946. Skeletal remains of two adults were recovered with three sherds of a Drimnagh Style bowl; a fourth undecorated sherd may have come from a second pot (pers. comm. M. Cahill). Although details of the burial are poorly documented, Brindley and Lanting (1989-90, 3) suggest that this may be an 'orthodox burial of Linkardstown Type.' Radiocarbon determination of 4585±80BP (OxA-2681) obtained for skeletal remains (ibid., 2). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. An account of this monument has been published in: Cahill, M. & Sikora, M. (2011) Breaking ground, finding graves- reports on the excavations of burials by the National Museum of Ireland, 1927-2006. vol. 1, 12-17. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 15 August 2012
