• CO061-022001 Souterrain
  Description

  In 1872 Brash described a possible long cist (C0061-189---) and an ogham stone (7978) from Monataggart. Later Quarry (1896,382) revisited the site to purchase the ogham stone for the Royal Irish Academy and asked the andowner to dig on the site again in the hope of finding more ogham stones. This uncovered a stone-lined underground chamber 'about eighteen feet in length, five feet in width and five in depth ...... at the end of which were some wood ashes and the appearance of a small flue' (ibid.) Two of the upright stones had ogham inscriptions (7979; 7980). Obviously this was a separate chamber to the one opened by Brash and its size and the presence of the flue suggest a possible souterrain. No visible surface trace. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009

• CO061-022002 Ogham stone
  Description

  Large stone (2.5m; 0.4m x 0.3m) discovered in 1872 during ploughing of a field, later set up as a gate post (Brash 1879, 160-1); according to farmer, formed lintel in possible long cist grave (7946). Purchased by Royal Irish Academy (Quarry 1896, 382) and now in collection of National Museum of Ireland (see DU018-366----). Macalister (1945, 116-8, no. 118) gave the inscription as VEQREQ MUCOI GLUNLEGGET, but considered that it had 'passed through a series of vicissitudes, all of which have left scars upon its surface' (ibid., 116). (Power 1997, 169, no. 7978) This stone has been studied as part of the ‘Ogham in 3D’ project undertaken by the School of Celtic Studies, Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies.

• CO061-022003 Ogham stone
  Description

  One of two ogham stones (0.9m; 0.4m x 0.1m) discovered in souterrain (CO061-022001-) where it formed part of the 'upright stones' (Quarry 1896, 382); purchased by the Royal Irish Academy and now part of collection of National Museum of Ireland (see DU018-367----). According to Macalister (1945, 118-9, no. 119), broken in two but 'the reading is quite clear and certain'; he gave this as DALAGNI MAQI DALI. (Power 1997, 169-70, no. 7979) This stone has been studied as part of the ‘Ogham in 3D’ project undertaken by the School of Celtic Studies, Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies.

• CO061-022004 Ogham stone
  Description

  This stone (1.88m; 0.35m x 0.26m) is one of two ogham stones (see also CO061-022003-) discovered in a souterrain (CO061-022001-) where it formed one of the 'upright stones' (Quarry 1896, 382). Two other ogham stones (CO061-022002-, CO061-022005-) were also discovered at this site. This stone was purchased by the Royal Irish Academy and is now part of the collection of the National Museum of Ireland (see DU018-368----). According to Macalister (1945, 119, no. 120), the 'inscription [is] perfectly legible, though the surface of the stone is rather rough'. He gave the inscription as BROINIENAS KOI NETA TTRENALUGOS; McManus (1991, 66) had difficulty reading the final U, O and S. (Power et al. 1997, no. 7980) This stone has been studied as part of the ‘Ogham in 3D’ project undertaken by the School of Celtic Studies, Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies.

• CO061-022005 Ogham stone
  Description

  Discovered some time after 1873 in the vicinity of three other ogham stones (CO061-022002-, CO061-022003-, CO061-022004-) but unlike them not removed from the locality (Quarry 1898, 382). Macalister (1945, 119, no. 121) found it 'lying in the farmyard of Monataggart'. He read it as VERGOSO MACI LLOMINACCA, but when he returned to check it, he 'found the stone completely covered with farm rubbish' (ibid.). When inspected in 1992, this stone was lying beside a field fence close to the farmyard. It is not possible to make out more than a few faint scores of the inscription.

• CO061-189 Burial
  Description

  Discovered in 1872 during ploughing; investigated by Brash (1879, 160-3) who described a 'cistvaen', a rectangular chamber 'about 5 ft. long, 3 ft. 6in. broad, and 3 ft. deep......formed of two flags at each side and two at each end and covered by three others'. One of the lintels was ogham inscribed (7978). Brash was informed that black earth, charcoal and some pieces of an old crock were found when the chamber was first opened. Brash said the ground around the chamber was slightly raised in a circular form like 'the base of a tumulus'. Further investigation at the same site by Quarry (1896,382) revealed possible souterrain (9092) and three other ogham stones (7979, 7980, 7981).
