Recorded monuments
- CO017-033 Mound
Description
Shown on 1842 OS 6-inch map as circular mound (diam. c. 10m) with trigonometrical station in centre; not shown on 1906 OS 6-inch map; trigonometrical station shown on 1937 OS 6-inch map with hachured rise on N side of station. Circular mound (diam. top, 2.8m; base, 14.2m) tapering to top; flat top with recent depression in centre. Noted by Brash (1852, 272) as ''Knockane-na-m-buachaillidhe', - that is 'the mound or hillock of the boys' ... about fifteen feet high and sixty feet in diameter. A deep excavation has been made in the west side of it, as we were informed, by gold-seekers'. Brash (ibid.) noted second tumulus nearby (11825). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
- CO017-106 Bridge
Description
Low, hump-backed road bridge (long axis E-W) over River Awbeg, at NE end of Buttevant, carrying former main road from Cork to Limerick (O'Keeffe and Simington 1991, 144). Bridge in two sections, the earlier on the downriver (S) side. Piers built directly on bedrock; footings now protected by concrete aprons. Downriver side (Wth 4.55m) has four pointed segmental arches, with roughly-cut limestone voussoirs; span of arches slightly increases from E to W: 2.6m->3.5m; piers are c. 3m wide (ibid., fig. 223). Second arch from W end is noticeably higher and has a drop arch (ibid., 143); distortion of profile on E side probably caused by movement of stones when centring removed. Bridge has been widened on upstream side by c. 2.1m: segmental arches with well-cut voussoirs; thickly pointed cutwaters. According to O'Keeffe and Simington (ibid., 144) the earlier section 'can confidently be assigned to the 13th century'- they therefore consider it 'a landmark bridge in the national context' (ibid.). Thomas (1992, vol. 2, 29) suggests it may have been within northern extension of medieval town walls (14632). It is shown on Down Survey (1655-6) barony map . The extension was probably built by the turnpike trust, sometime between 1730 and 1800 (ibid.). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
