Recorded monuments

• CO064-004001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Circular area (30.2m N-S) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 1m), with substantial external fosse (D 2m); second bank (H 1.25m) survives WSW->ESE, with shallow fosse. Interior slopes gently down to SW, scored with trenches running N-S; possible souterrain (CO064-004002-) in N half. 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. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009

• CO064-004002 Souterrain
  Description

  In ringfort (CO064-004001-). Local tradition of souterrain; no visible surface trace. 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.

• CO064-151 Burnt mound
  Description

  In wet pasture, at the junction of two streams. An irregularly shaped mound (c. 8m N-S; c. 8m E-W; H 0.45m) of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

• CO064-152 Fulacht fia
  Description

  In pasture, 13m W of a stream at the base of a steep-sided glen. This fulacht fia was excavated in 2000 in advance of the N8 Glanmire-Watergrasshill Bypass. Prior to excavation, it was described as a low grass-covered mound (c. 20m x c. 20m) of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil. Excavation revealed that the mound (c. 27m N-S; 19m E-W; max. D 1m) covered a hearth. The hearth consisted of 2-3 courses of a low stone wall enclosing a horseshoe-shaped area (2.3m E-W; 1.5m N-S) with its opening facing E. A post-hole marked each terminal of the wall. A trough was found immediately to the E of the hearth. It consisted of a pit (min. 4.6m E-W; c. 1.2m N-S; D 0.25-0.65m), the E side of which was truncated by modern drainage works. Both the N and S sides of the pit were lined with rubble stone walling, much of which had collapsed. In the pit was found the remains of an oak trough (min. L 3m; Wth 0.7m; D 0.2m) formed by splitting an oak tree longitudinally and then hollowing out one half in a similar fashion to a dugout canoe. Two grooves cut on the underside of the trough, at its W end, were interpreted by the excavator as attachments for ropes to facilitate movement of the trough. Dendrochronological analysis of the trough estimated a felling date range for the tree of 1535±9 BC. A sample of charcoal from within the hearth yielded a calibrated radiocarbon date of 1409 BC. The slightly earlier date for the trough suggests that it may have been reused. A second fulacht fia (CO064-152001-) c. 30m to the SE on the E side of the stream was also excavated.
