• CO027-069 Cairn - burial cairn
  Description

  In pasture, in SW corner of field; low circular mound (diam. c. 13.7m) defined by stone kerb; capstone of cist visible in centre of mound. Excavated by O'Kelly (1952, 121-158) who described four rectangular cists, covered by cairn enclosed by 'megalithic' kerbstones laid on edge; this multiple-cist cairn was built on a grey 'old turf' layer. Gap in kerb to N (Wth 13ft; sockets for two missing stones at W end of gap suggest original Wth c. 5ft.); W side defined by largest kerbstone (9ft x 3ft 9in x 1ft 3in), E side by radially set stone. Cairn material (max. H 4ft 6in) contained fragments of Food Vessel pottery with Beaker-type ornament, broken saddle-querns and rubbers, axe hammer, bone point and antler pendant. Central cist (4ft 6in x 4ft 3in; H 2ft; long axis NW-SE), 'of megalithic character' (ibid., 157), has three double-slabbed sidewalls; fourth sidewall has single thick slab; outer slabs do not support capstone (8ft 6in x 6ft; Th 2ft); floor paved in 'crazy-paving' fashion. Primary inhumation of male and female was disturbed by insertion of cremation of young person into cist. Cist no. 2 (3ft x 1ft; H 1ft 6in; capstone 4ft x 3ft) parallel to above, just inside kerb to SW, contained fragmentary adult inhumation. Cist no. 3 (1ft 8in x 1ft 3in; H 6in; long axis E-W), just inside kerb to NW, floored by slab; single boulder outside E and W ends; no trace of burial (ibid., 126). Cist no. 4 (1ft 9in x 3ft; H 1ft 10in; long axis E-W) contained fragmentary inhumations of male, female and child. Immediately beneath the grey 'old turf' layer, in the vicinity of Cist no. 2, were found several shallow pits, some charcoal spreads, burnt areas and fragments of Neolithic pottery (but see below), a considerable number of flints, two pieces of quartz crystal, and pieces of a human skull (ibid., 140-1). O'Kelly also discovered fosse outside kerb 'which ran continuously around ... but was not concentric with it' (ibid., 132); he considered this ring barrow (CO027-159---) earlier than cairn. Two recent radiocarbon dates, one from primary inhumation in central cist (2260-2140 cal. BC) and one from charcoal found immediately beneath grey 'old turf' layer (2560-2390 cal. BC)' have prompted reinterpretation of site (Brindley et al., 1987/8); pottery thought Neolithic by O'Kelly is now described as both Beaker Pottery and pottery belonging to a contemporary 'non-Beaker tradition' (ibid., 13). This suggests a primary short-term settlement, the main evidence for which included Beaker Pottery, followed by multiple-cist cairn in earliest Bronze Age, and finally enclosing of cairn by fosse (CO027-159---) and secondary burials (CO027-160--- & CO027-161---) (ibid.). Unclassified megalithic tombs c. 600m to W (CO027-068---) and c. 300m to E (CO027-076---). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.

  Description

  In rolling pasture. Depicted on 1934 OS 6-inch map as arc of hachures forming scarp SW->NE, which extends out from kink in field boundary to S. Roughly circular area (30m N-S; 24m E-W) defined by low rise to E which runs into field boundary ESE->SW; scarp (H 0.3m) elsewhere. Field boundary which incorporates bank is stone faced and overgrown. Multiple cist cairn (CO027-069---) c. 50m to W.

• CO027-071 Burial
  Description

  Discovered in 1930 during tillage operations; investigated by NMI. Large undressed boulder (6ft x 4ft; Th 2in-4ft) overlaid a slight hollow (L c. 6ft; D c. 2ft) into which covering stone had sunk; fragments of human skull dug out from hollow by farmer prior to investigation were only contents surviving.

• CO027-159 Barrow - ring-barrow
  Description

  Part of a complex excavated in 1948 (O'Kelly, 1952). Excavation revealed circular 'very low mound' (diam. 52ft) enclosed by 'round bottomed' fosse (D 1ft; Wth 3ft). This overlay pits, stake-holes, charcoal spreads and fragments of a human skull and 'produced a range of pottery types which date the monument to the Neolithic period' (ibid.); subsequent activity on site of three more phases interpreted as follows: multiple cist cairn (CO027-069---) placed on mound of ringbarrow and within fosse; food vessel burial (CO027-161---) outside fosse; urn burial (CO027-260---) also outside fosse, which was extended to enclose burial. This sequence recently questioned in light of two radiocarbon dates from the site and reclassification of 'Neolithic' pottery as Beaker pottery (Brindley et al., 1987/8, 13-20). Three phases suggested: short term settlement with beaker pottery, pits etc.; multiple cist cairn with food vessel burial to SW; cist reused and cairn modified by enclosing it with fosse, which soon after was extended to enclose urn burial.

• CO027-160 Burial
  Description

  Adjacent to SW side of ring barrow (CO027-159---) and multiple-cist cairn (CO027-069---). Excavated by O'Kelly (1952, 121-158) who described circular pit (diam. c. 3ft; D 1ft 6in) containing cremated burial with two Food Vessel Bowls (Brindley et al. 1987/8, 15, fig 2); both 'decorated with impressed ornament which includes comb and false relief ornament' (O Riordain and Waddell 1993, 95). Slab (4ft 6in x 5ft; Th 1ft 6in) found adjacent probably covered pit; this was disturbed when fosse extension dug to enclose urn burial (CO027-161---).

In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009

• CO027-161 Urn burial
  Description

  On SW side of ring barrow (CO027-159---) and multiple cist cairn (CO027-069---). Excavated by O'Kelly (1952, 121-58) who describes pit just large enough to contain an Encrusted Urn inverted over cremated bones of adult, possibly male; urn packed around with black ashes; parts of second Encrusted Urn on edge of pit. Burial enclosed by short arc of fosse which joins with fosse of ringbarrow (CO027-159---) at either end; cutting of this extension fosse disturbed Food Vessel burial (CO027-160---). (Brindley et al. 1987/8, 15, fig. 2) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000).
