• CO053-096 Structure
  Description

  The remains of a C-shaped structure were discovered during archaeological monitoring and were subsequently excavated in advance of the construction of the N8 Rathcormac-Fermoy Bypass. The structure was found c. 160m to the W of a rath (CO053-010----) which was partially excavated and radiocarbon dated to AD 620-690. The excavator concluded that it was contemporary with this possible rath and represented domestic activity associated with it. The remains consisted of a trench (Wth 1.4m; D 0.6m) enclosing an area with an internal diameter of 7m by 9m. It had an entrance (Wth 3.7m) at the NE, facing the adjoining rath. Within the structure were found charcoal pits, hearths with cremated bone and the possible remains of kiln flues. Immediately outside the structure two deep pits, with heavily oxidized bases representing in situ burning, were evident.

• CO053-106 Pit-burial
  Description

  Archaeological excavation during the construction of the N8 Rathcormac-Fermoy Bypass uncovered an isolated roughly circular pit (max. dims. 0.24m) containing cremated bone (Murphy 2006q, 76).

• CO053-107 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  Discovered in 2002 and subsequently excavated in 2003 in advance of the construction of the N8 Rathcormac-Fermoy Bypass. Excavation revealed five pits, a stake-hole and an area of oxidised clay. The pits, which all contained charcoal, were roughly circular in shape (diam. 0.15-0.36m; D 0.08-0.15m). Two of the pits contained oxidised clay suggesting they may have functioned as hearths. A stake-hole (diam. 0.12m; D 0.8m) was discovered beside the pits and may have been associated with them. An isolated, burnt spread (diam. 1m; D 0.07m), which was circular in plan and consisted of charcoal and oxidised clay, was recorded to the S of a boundary fosse (CO053-112----) in the NW area of the site. Poorly preserved pieces of oxidised clay, which appeared to have been fired rather than subjected to burning, were found close to this spread. Charcoal extracted from the burnt spread was identified as oak and produced a radiocarbon date of 800-400 cal. BC. According to the excavator, it is probable that the spread, its associated pits and stake-hole are the remains of a temporary Iron Age settlement site and also suggests that the poorly fired clay may hint at a domestic function or pottery production at the site.

• CO053-108 Burnt pit
  Description

  Discovered in 2002 and subsequently excavated in 2003 in advance of the construction of the N8 Rathcormac-Fermoy Bypass. Excavation revealed an isolated circular pit (diam. 0.42m; D 0.23m) with heavily oxidised sides which was interpreted as a refuse pit (Murphy 2006l, 38). The fill of this pit contained flecks of charcoal which were radiocarbon dated to 1500-1130 cal. BC (Murphy 2006l, 38). (Murphy 2006f, 77; 2006l) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

• CO053-112 Field boundary
  Description

  Discovered in 2002 and subsequently excavated in 2003 in advance of the construction of the N8 Rathcormac-Fermoy Bypass. Excavation revealed three field boundary ditches (max. Wth 1.34m; max. D 0.6m), one at the S end of the site and the other two at the N end. The S example comprised a curving field boundary ditch on a NNW-SSE orientation. One of the field boundary ditches at the N appeared to be the earliest one on the site. This was truncated at its W end by a later NW-SE orientated field boundary ditch. Charcoal from one of the fills of the latter was identified as holly and produced a radiocarbon date of 970+/-40 BP. According to the excavator, it would appear that both these field boundaries are broadly contemporary (Murphy 2006j, 38). No finds or other features were found in association with this field boundary and Murphy (ibid., 44) concluded therefore that the ditch belonged to a medieval field system, as opposed to representing medieval occupation on the site.
