• CO074-064 Souterrain
  Description

  Roadside, outside grounds of Clanricarde House in suburbs of Cork. Discovered and investigated in 1909. McCarthy (1977, 143-4) interprets the results of the investigation and describes a stone built chamber (L 2.43m; Wth 1.52m; H 1.52m) with an entrance shaft (L 1.21m; Wth 0.6m; H 0.6m); walls corbelled to support capstones. Stones bearing evidence of fire and some bones, possibly horse, were found. 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.

• CO074-133 Souterrain
  Description

  This souterrain was discovered during construction works at a housing development on Boreenamanna Road in Cork and was excavated by Tony Cummins (pers. comm.) who supplied the following details. The souterrain was revealed when part of the roof of a chamber collapsed under the weight of a soil dumper. It was excavated as there was immediate danger of the entire structure collapsing. It was drystone-built in an L-shaped trench and consisted of a passage that led to a single rectangular chamber via a narrow creepway. The passage (6.38m E-W; 1.1m N-S; H 1.1m) was accessed through an entrance pit in the E wall. It was roofed with lintels supported on a row of corbel stones but most of the lintels were cracked and the remaining portion of the roof collapsed shortly after the excavation commenced. The floor of the passage was cobbled with loosely packed, water-rolled stones. A stone-built creepway (L 1.3m; Wth 0.4m), roofed with three lintels, in the W end of the S wall of the passage gave access to a rectangular stone-built chamber (3.2m N-S; 1.5m E-W; H 1.1m). The floor level dropped sharply down from the creepway into the chamber. The roof of the chamber was formed by four large lintels (L 1.14-1.63m; Wth 0.48-0.96m; T 0.05-0.15m) supported by corbels. The roof was covered with a spread of smaller stones that sealed the gaps between the lintels. The chamber contained a small wall-press in the W wall and an air-vent in the S wall. Excavation showed that the entrance pit had been blocked with soil that contained sherds of 19th-century pottery. This backfilled deposit was truncated by a 'dumb-bell shaped' stone-lined kiln (6.3m N-S) of early modern date that extended to the N of the souterrain. A number of roof and wall stones that were missing from the souterrain may have been removed to build the lining of the kiln. Another souterrain (CO074-064----) was discovered c. 250m to the NNW in 1909. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
