• CO134-112001 Souterrain
  Description

  In a possible rath (CO134-112002-). This souterrain was discovered in 2003 when the ground collapsed under the weight of farm machinery; it was subsequently investigated. The collapse resulted in an opening (2m E-W; 1.52m N-S; D c. 1.5m) which gave access, via the roof, to an oval earth-cut chamber. Most of the roof of the chamber had collapsed. The walls curve inwards and the roof may have been partially composed of lintels as some flat stones were noted at the apex of what remains of it. There are two earth-cut passages from the chamber. The E passage (L 1.2m; Wth 1.13m; min. H 1.09m) has a curved roof, 0.7m below ground level and it narrows towards the E. A construction shaft (Wth 0.9m; H 0.5m) is visible at its E end. The floor of this passage is covered with debris. A small recess (Wth 0.5m; H 0.5m) occurs on each side. The NW passage (L 1.4m; Wth 0.7m; H 0.75m) slopes downwards and is 1.4m below ground level. It is largely obscured by collapsed debris. (Ryall 2003c) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).

• CO134-112002 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on the S-facing slopes of an E-W ridge. The arc of a farm roadway (L c. 80m) curves SW-N to the W of a souterrain (CO134-112001-). The outer arc of the roadway is delineated by an earthen bank with stone inclusions (Wth varies up to 4m; H up to 2m). It is largely obscured with overgrowth and displays intermittent traces of a recent stone wall along its inner face. The passage (Wth c. 5m) is in occasional use and the remains of an inner low bank are topped with an electric fence. The curving bank or banks delineating the road may incorporate the bank or banks of a rath associated with the souterrain (CO134-112001-). The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
