Recorded monuments
- KE066-047 Standing stone
Description
In pasture, at the NW edge of Shepherd's Clump wood. The stone (Wth 1.8m at base; T 0.8m; H 2.7m) is triangular in shape and irregular in plan and orientated N-S. There are possible packing-stones in the ground nearby. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011
- KE066-053 Standing stone
Description
In a football pitch. The stone (dims. 1.47m x 0.85m; H 2.1m) is rectangular in plan and irregular in shape and orientated N-S. Grass-cuttings from the football pitch have been piled against the S and E faces of the stone. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011
- KE066-106001 Enclosure
Description
In pasture. An oval enclosure (dims. c. 40m x c. 30m) is visible as a shadow site in an aerial photograph (OSAP, 2119-20). It is not visible at ground level. Remnants of a possible network of field walls (KE066-106002-) are c. 300m to the NW. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011
- KE066-106002 Field boundary
Description
These possible field walls are not visible at ground level. A network of relict field walls, covering an area c. 200m by c. 140m, is visible as a shadow site in an aerial photograph (OSAP, 2119-2120) taken in 1989. On the 1846 OS 6-inch map the area is covered in woodland and, according to local information, this oak woodland was cut down during World War 1. Two archaeological trial trenches in the area, undertaken because of a proposed housing development, revealed no features of archaeological significance (Bennett 1995, 44). The features that were visible in the aerial photograph were not apparent at ground level prior to trial trenching (pers. comm. I. Bennett). An enclosure (KE066-106001-), which is also visible in the aerial photograph, lies c. 300m to the SE. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011
- KE066-252 Burnt mound
Description
During the course of an archaeological impact assessment carried out by Laurence Dunne Archaeology in advance of a proposed facility to deposit benign waste material, test excavations were carried out in October 2017. Seven test trenches were opened and burnt mount material consisting of heat shattered stones and charcoal enriched soil was discovered in trench 2. The extent of the burnt mound material was determined to be 12m NE-SW by 10m NW-SE. The minimum depth of the material was c. 0.15m. Compiled by: Matt Kelleher Date of upload: 29 January 2018
