  Description

  On steep S-facing shore of Great Island with commanding view of entrance to Cork harbour; remains of roughly star-shaped fort (c. 100m N-S; c. 80m E-W) later enclosed within rectangular ordnance grounds (c. 200m N-S; c. 170m E-W). Fort built 1743-9 (Brunicardi 1982, 4); described by Smith (1750, vol. 1, 165) as consisting of 'a battery of 20 pieces of ordnance'; 1804 report describes 'the lower level mounting six 24-pounders, the middle battery thirteen and the upper battery one' (Kerrigan 1978, 147), there was also a barracks 'situated over these tiers; and a battery for defence on the land side' (Anon 1846, vol. 1, 560); According to Lewis (1837, vol 1, 415) 'now dismantled and occupied as a naval hospital'; by 1842, OS 6-inch map names barracks as 'hospital'; as 'military hospital' on 1902 OS 6-inch map with separate 'fever wards' to N.

• CO087-149 Fulacht fia
  Description

  On Great Island in Cork Harbour and c. 70m W of a stream. A spread of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil was noted following topsoil stripping in advance of the construction of a large-scale housing development. A roughly oval spread (c. 16m E-W; c. 9m N-S) of this burnt material was excavated in 2007. Prior to development, the field in which the fulacht fia was found was in pasture with a marshy area to the E. Excavation revealed a large subrectangular stone-lined trough (5.18m NW-SE; 1.5m NE-SW; D 0.7-0.9m) under the W side of the spread. Adjoining the N end of the trough was a stone-lined hearth (2.1m x 2.1m; D c. 0.3m) with a stone surround. A possible circular structure (diam. c. 5m) was recorded around the trough. Under the E side of the spread were a large oval trough (5.18m x 4.2m; max. D 0.65m) and a smaller steep-sided trough (2m N-S; 1.4m E-W; D 0.5m), separated from each other by two large stones. An irregular arrangement of post-holes and stake-holes was found to the E of the rectangular trough and to the N of the oval trough but no apparent form or plan was evident in their layout. A shallow U-shaped channel (Wth 0.6m; max. D 0.25m) led eastwards from the rectangular trough to the steep-sided trough. A stone tool, possibly a hone stone, was the only artefact recovered during the excavation.
