Recorded monuments

• CO082-019 Church
  Description

  O'Donoghue (1986) noted 'At the west side is Parknakilla - Pairc na Cille (field of the church) in which is the site of an ancient church'. There are no visible remains of any church here as the area has been quarried extensively. A souterrain (CO082-019001-) was noted in the quarry face in 1999. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

• CO082-019001 Souterrain
  Description

  In a quarry, in a field named 'Parknakilla' on the 1900-1901 OS 6-inch map. This souterrain is visible in section in the S face of the quarry. It consists of at least three stone-built chambers. Chamber 1 (min. L 1.8m; Wth 1m; H c. 0.4m) is orientated N-S and extends into the quarry face. Its W side is of drystone-walling and its E side comprises one upright slab and some loose stones. Its S end is blocked by one large stone but it is not clear if this is the end wall or a collapsed lintel. One large roof lintel remains in situ, covering the entire remains of the chamber. The lintel is c. 1m below present ground level. Chamber 2 lies to the E of chamber 1 and is orientated E-W along the quarry face but only two upright slabs (combined length 1.1m) of its N wall and two roof lintels are visible. Chamber 3 lies to the E of Chamber 2 and appears to be orientated NE-SW. Only two upright slabs, probably part of its E wall, are visible. Chambers 1 and 2 are partially filled with earth and gravel. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
