• CO124-033 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In grassland, on E-facing slope. Shown on 1842 OS 6-inch map as circular enclosure with outer bank and central scarped platform, bounded to W by trackway. Oval area (27m N-S; 36m E-W) now defined by heavily denuded bank (max. H 1.4m); joins field fence on NE side. Gorse growth may trace line of inner platform to NE. No trace of fosse. Possible entrance to NW; numerous other gaps. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

• CO124-034001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, atop SE end of narrow ridge, with commanding views. Circular area (diam. c. 60m) enclosed by three banks with intervening fosses and external fosse; counterscarp bank SE->N. Rough grazing in interior, bank partially gorse covered. Excavated in 1941-2 by Séan P. Ó Ríordáin and P.J. Hartnett (1943, 1-43). Excavation produced evidence for palisade of wooden posts inside and approx. concentric with inner bank. Causewayed entrance to SE, 'protected by a series of gates', with end of palisade giving further protection to entrance. SW quadrant 'fully investigated' and 'excavated area was extended near the centre to complete the investigation of souterrain A' (CO124-034002-). Evidence for habitation found in centre and along N part of SW quadrant, in form of post holes; in all 12 hearths excavated; no well defined house plan discovered. Excavator concluded that 'the black deposit' in SW quadrant represented 'the earliest and most important habitation area' from evidence produced by finds, dating to 'a period just before and after 600 AD'. Evidence of 'technical pursuits' were found in form of 'crucible fragments, numerous whetstones and a kiln'; iron slag shows iron smelting was carried out. Other finds include 12 bronze objects, 23 iron objects, two glass beads, other glass fragments and amber bead. Excavator felt that occupation in centre belonged to a 'later phase',t o which he would ascribe two other souterrains, B and C (CO124-034003-; CO124-034004-), excavated in interior. Most important of medieval and later finds was 'the axe-head' dated 'from the 11th to the 16th century', found 'almost on floor level in souterrain C'. (CO124-034004-). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994).

• CO124-034002 Souterrain
  Description

  In ringfort (CO124-034001-); one of three souterrains (CO124-034003-; CO124-034004-) discovered during excavation (Ó Ríordáin and Hartnett 1943, 13-7). Four subrectangular, stone-built chambers at right angles to each other; construction trench rock-cut. Entrance passage (L 1.82m; Wth 0.6m) slopes down to chamber 1 (L 3.65m; Wth 1.31m H 1.21m). Dimensions of other chambers similar to chamber 1; walls remain to height of 1.2m. Creepway from chamber 3 to chamber 4 roofed with two lintels, otherwise roof missing. Chambers filled with humus and stones which exacvators suggest was done deliberately, not earlier than medieval times. Finds: wall brad, spindle whorl, perforated slates, 16th and early 17th century pottery and a quantity of seeds.

• CO124-034003 Souterrain
  Description

  In ringfort (CO124-034001-); one of three souterrains (CO124-034002-; CO124-034004-) discovered during excavation (Ó Ríordáin and Hartnett 1943, 13-17). Three stone-built chambers; construction trench rock-cut. Central chamber orientated N-S, connected by creepways to other chambers which branched from it at either end to E and W respectively. Stone walls remained to height of 1.06m showing outward batter towards top. Creepway from chamber 2 to chamber 3 roofed with lintels. Chamber 3 poorly constructed, excavators suggest left in unfinished state. Four post-holes in floor of each chamber; posts probably supported roof. Only finds were perforated slates. All chambers filled with humus and stones which excavators suggest was deliberate and done not earlier than medieval times.

  Description
