• CO065-032002 Souterrain
  Description

  In ringfort (CO065-03201-). Discovered in 19th century by Rev. J. Cotter. Brash (1879, 134-135) described two earth-cut chambers, roofed with slabs. One chamber measured '13ft in length, 4ft 6in in width and 3ft 10 in in height'. 'The second passage was in length 10ft 6in, in breadth 3ft 1in, and in height 3ft 9in'. Brash does not mention that the chambers were connected by creepway but McCarthy (1977, 252) comments that the possibility is that they were. One capstone in each chamber was found to bear an ogham inscription (CO065-033---; CO065-098---). Tradition that entrance to souterrain is 6 - 8m outside S bank of ringfort; stone-faced revetment in lawn curves at this spot.

• CO065-098 Ogham stone
  Description

  Found within a souterrain (CO065-03202-) opened in 1844 inside a ringfort (CO065-03201-), partially under present site of Ballynatrasna House. The stone (H 7ft 2in; 1ft 10in x 6in) is now on permanent display in the Stone Corridor, University College Cork (see CO074-146----). 'The dexter inscription, cut in fine lines, is much flaked' and was read by Macalister (1945, 66-7, no. 63) as COLOMAGNI AVI DUCURI and by McManus (2004, 20-1, no. 21) as COLOMAGNi [ ]V[ ]DU[ ]U... . 'The sinister inscription is punched in bold scores, and reads BRUSCO MAQI DOVALESCI' (McManus: BruSC[ ]DOVALeSC). A second ogham stone (CO065-033----) found in the same souterrain was re-erected within the townland on the site of 'another erased rath' (CO065-097----) (Atkinson 1883-84, 309).
