Recorded monuments
- DU021-023 Habitation site
Description
This monument was discovered during topsoil removal in the course of preparatory works for the Cork – Dublin gas pipeline in 1981. It was situated adjacent to a small stream. Although initially considered to be the remains of a possible fulacht fia (Gowan 1982, 29) on further examination it was determined as the remains of a possible settlement site. This was evident as a shallow fosse or drain (15m long, 0.3m deep and 1m wide) and a sub-rectangular pit (L 5.80m long and 0.9m wide). The fill in the fosse contained charcoal enriched soil, animal bone and oxidised clay, possibly from a hearth; a bone comb was recovered from the fill. The fill of the pit comprised a dark brown humus-enriched soil and animal bones. The excavators suggested that the finds indicate that the drain and pit may be part of a 9th or 10th century AD settlement site. It has not been possible to identify with certainty the precise location of this site and the current ITM coordinates should only be considered as indicative.
