- CO074-034001: Historic town, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCO074-034001-. Earliest historic settlement at Cork was monastery of St Fin Barre, founded 6th or early 7th century (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 66). Historical references to Viking settlement date from 846 AD (Jefferies 1985, 15); probably located on S bank of Lee opposite South Gate Bridge (CO074-03412-), however recent excavation in this area produced no material earlier than 12th century (O'Brien 1990). Walled town built on two islands (N and S) in marshy section of river Lee. S island enclosed by 1182, reserved to the Crown; N island, called Dungarvan, regarded as suburb; within walled area by 13th century (Bradley et al. 1985, 25; Candon 1985; Thomas 1992, vol. 2, 62). Bridges linking islands to mainland at N and S ends indicate existence of North and South Main Streets. The number of religious foundations established in late 12th and 13th centuries is a measure of wealth and urban expansion of Cork at this time. Suburbs appear to have declined during 15th century and in 16th century city seems to have occupied little more than area inside medieval walls. Period after 1550 saw economic revival with expanding overseas trade. Old suburbs re-emerged; land reclaimed from marshes to E and W. Return of customs and excise duties for both 1664 and 1668 indicate Cork now second port of Ireland, after Dublin. City besieged by Williamites in 1690; considerable damage caused within city; large gap made in SE section of city wall (O Murchadha 1990). Despite destructive Williamite siege, 17th century period of prosperity; economic improvement continued in 18th century with further reclamations to E and W; many of the watercourses formerly dividing city into islands covered over at this time and city centre took on shape which largely remains today.

City walled before end of 12th century (Bradley et al. 1985, 46-52; Thomas 1992, vol. 2, 62). Record of repairs numerous up to late 17th century. Besieged by Williamites under Marlborough, in 1690 causing serious damage (O Murchadha 1990). Survey carried out in 1733 shows stretches broken down and built over. Medieval walls enclosed sub-rectangular area (c. 654m N-S; c. 225m E-W). Sixteen mural towers existed along wall and at least two major gate ways (CO074-03002-; CO074-03412-). According to MacCarthy (1982) 'substantial fragments of wall still exist' on S side of Hanover Street. Recent excavations have uncovered parts of wall at St. Peter's Market (Hurley 1986); Christ Church Lane (Twohig 1978, 21; Twohig 1974; Twohig 1977), Bishop Lucey Park (Hurley 1985; Hurley 1989; Hurley 1990), Tuckey Street (Hurley and Power 1981), Grand Parade Hotel (Hurley and Power 1981), 81-83 Grand Parade (Wren 1992), Grattan Street (Power 1992), Beamish and Crawford brewery (Cleary 1988) & Kyrl's Quay (Hurley 1992).

The shield is flanked by the initials T (above) P on the left and C (above) F on the right. Directly underneath the shield is the date 1606. The original provenance of this plaque is unknown. It might possibly have formed part of the over-mantle of an ornate fireplace. (Brett et al. 2006, 20) Compiled by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 17 April 2014

Described by Bradley et al. (1985, 45) as follows: ‘Although Elizabeth Fort [CO074-039001-] was built on relatively high ground overlooking the city, it was itself overlooked by higher ground on the south-east (34m as compared to about 18m for Elizabeth Fort). To compensate for this weakness, a smaller outwork, known as "Cat Fort" was erected on this higher ground (Mulcahy et al. 1960, 129, 133). Apparently, this was not a fortification of any great strength and it surrendered very quickly to the Williamites in 1690, for instance, because it had no artillery (Mulcahy et al. 1960, 134). Indeed it is described in 1690 as a "new outwork, still unfinished" (Gillman 1894, 26). Mulcahy et. al. (1960, 129 n.22) speculate that it was a converted ringfort, perhaps the "Lyscotekyn", apparently in this area, referred to in 1307 (Mills 1914, 375). Phillips' map of 1685 shows that the Cat Fort was located in the angle between Tower Street and Friar Street. There are no surviving remains.’ Compiled by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 22 February 2018

On Pope's Quay, this is one of the oldest surviving town houses in Ireland. It dates from c. 1730 and is considered one of the finest historic buildings in Cork city. It is believed to have originally been home to Richard Boyle, the 4th Earl of Cork. Later it was home to the Master Cooper Henry Maultby whose cooperage was in the adjoining building. The family eventually moved to Australia and the house spent a brief period in the late nineteenth-century as The County and City of Cork Hospital for Women and Children. This hospital then moved to the south bank of the city into its current home, where it is now the South Infirmary Victoria Hospital. A sergeant in the Royal Irish Constabulary was the next owner of the house, and his family remained living in the building until the late 1970s - early 1980s and students were also resident here during term time. When this period ended the building fell into disrepair in the 1980s and was purchased by Cork City Council. It spent a short time as home to Graffitte Theatre Company. In the 1990s the newly-formed Cork Civic Trust leased it from the council, secured funds and managed its renovation in a manner sensitive to its heritage. After the renovation, the first tenants were ‘Cork 2005: European Capital of Culture’ who ran a city-wide programme of events during that year. In 2006 Cork City Council made it available as residence to a range of professional arts organisations who have formed a partnership ‘Arts @ Civic Trust House’. The building provides office space, shared resources and the opportunity for sharing of valuable knowledge between the companies. (Craig 1982, 210). 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.

In October 2016, in the course of renovation works to a house, redeposited human skeletal remains were found in a shallow pit underneath a concrete floor of an extension dating to the 20th century. A total of 48 human skeletal fragments were identified from the assemblage representing at least four individuals. While it is uncertain when the remains had been re-deposited, the proximity of the remains to the original St Stephen’s Leper hospital (CO074-045001-) strongly suggests the remains to be medieval in date.

- CO074-183: Excavation - miscellaneous, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCO074-183----. Revealed beneath modern overburden in an open backyard area to the rear of Number 52 Barrack Street, Cork during archaeological testing (Licence No. 21E0361). Partly truncated by modern and post-medieval ground reductions on its north-eastern side. Otherwise, intact prior to excavation programme (21E0361 ext.). The previously unrecorded ditch feature measured up to 9.6m in width and 2.9m in depth (below the level of untruncated subsoil which was revealed to its southwest). Up to 0.5m of disturbed, modern overburden overlay the upper fill of the ditch. Within the development site, the ditch was revealed for a distance of 24m and extended in a northwest to southeast direction across the south-western portion of the site. A 3m wide section was manually excavated to its base at its north-western revealed extent, elsewhere the ditch fills were excavated to below construction formation level, with underlying fills remaining in-situ. Within the manually excavated section, the ditch had moderate to sharply sloping sides and a U-shaped base. It was evident that the ditch continued beyond the boundaries of the development site at either end of its alignment. It was also evident that there was an element of curvature to the ditch, as it trended towards a more east-south-easterly component at its revealed south-eastern end, as such, it would appear that the ditch enclosed ground to its northeast. Within the development site, the ditch was filled by at least ten infill layers with the lower infill layers comprising relatively sterile soils and large stones and boulders, indicative of a purposeful backfilling effort. There was only a small amount of silting at the base indicating that the ditch was either open for a short period prior to backfilling or, alternatively, that it was frequently cleaned out while in use. The lower fills were overlain by a layer of redeposited subsoil at the mid-fill level of the ditch. The extent and consistency of this layer suggests strongly that it represents a systematic infilling effort following the partial backfilling of the lower portions of the ditch. A number of sherds of late medieval green glazed pottery, including Ham Green B ware (Clare McCutcheon, pers. comm.) were retrieved from this fill layer. The presence of such pottery suggests that this backfilling activity was undertaken sometime around the 13th century. The upper fills of the ditch which overlay the redeposit layer had a more garden soil quality and were likely associated with the largescale market garden activity that was undertaken in this general area in the 18th and 19th centuries.

- CO074-184: Burial, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCO074-184----. The human skeletal remains were discovered during archaeological monitoring of ground reductions close to the street front of Number 48 Barrack Street, formerly ‘Nancy Spain’s’ public house, following the demolition of that structure ahead of the construction of a social housing scheme. The skeletal remains were revealed just below the construction formation level in this particular portion of the new development. The initially discovered skeletal remains were revealed beneath a rubble layer which underlay the concrete slab on which the former pub floor (comprising of terrazzo slabs) was set. The fragmented and partially articulated remains of two adult male individuals who were not contained within an identifiable grave cut, were revealed in the western portion of the cutting adjacent to the party wall with No.49 Barrack Street. Following further investigation of the area, a shallow mass burial pit was revealed 5m to the east-northeast of the initial discovery. The burial pit was orientated in a northeast to southwest direction and measured 2.25m long, between 0.65m and 0.76m wide (northwest to southeast) and had a maximum depth of 0.27m (below the surface of revealed natural subsoil). The foundation of the north-eastern gable wall of the former pub structure was located only 0.32m from the north-eastern end of the pit. The pit contained the largely intact skeletal remains of four individuals who were buried in a ‘head to toe’ manner. Based on the burial position of all four individuals, it was possible to discern that they had their hands/wrists bound behind their back, while their ankle areas had also likely been bound. The burial pit had been backfilled with a soft and mixed light orangish brown to mid-grey silty clay which contained inclusions dating from the medieval to modern periods (the upper surface of the fill had been subject to modern disturbance).
