• CO064-175 Metalworking site
  Description

  This metalworking site was excavated along the route of the N8 Glanmire-Watergrasshill Bypass in 2001. It comprised two iron-smelting furnaces situated immediately adjacent to each other, the smaller of the two at the NW and the larger to the SE. The smaller, clay-lined, sub-oval furnace (0.42m x 0.42m; D 0.36m) was irregular in shape with probable flues extending from its N and S sides. The principal fill of this furnace was identified as a hard black deposit of solidified iron slag with frequent charcoal inclusions. The larger, untruncated, clay-lined furnace (diam c. 0.55m; D 0.35m) at the SE was subcircular in plan and was found with its clay lid (max. T 0.1m) intact. The lid overlay the principal fill of the feature, a slag-rich deposit, which in turn overlay a black silty deposit and a mixed clay/slag deposit. According to the excavator (Sherlock 2003j, 55), the presence of a mixed clay/slag deposit around the sides and base of the furnace may suggest that it was reused on at least one occasion. The slag recovered from both features was found to derive from the processing of bog iron. Charcoal samples from this metalworking site were radiocarbon dated to 2220±40 BP. Another excavated metalworking site (CO064-170----) was situated c. 530m to the SW and another excavated furnace (CO064-164----) was c. 900m to the SW.

• CO064-177 Burnt mound
  Description

  Discovered in 2001 during archaeological test-trenching in advance of the construction of the N8 Glanmire-Watergrasshill Bypass. A large spread (24m N-S; 16m E-W) of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil was uncovered during topsoil removal. A sample of charcoal from the spread yielded a radiocarbon date of cal. BC 1603-1551 (2 sigma) (NRA). The monument had been disturbed by extensive agricultural activity and no evidence of a trough was uncovered.
