  Description

  A spread of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil was uncovered during testing in advance of the construction of the N8 Rathcormac-Fermoy Bypass. Subsequent excavation in 2003 revealed the minimum extent (7m x 6.5m) of a mound which overlay an oval trough (2m x 1.8m), three pits and 33 stake-holes some of which may have been the remains of structures. Another fulacht fia (CO044-082----) lies c. 50m to the NNE on the opposite side of a stream.

• CO044-082 Fulacht fia
  Description

  Two spreads of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil were uncovered during testing in advance of the construction of the N8 Rathcormac-Fermoy Bypass. Subsequent excavation in 2003 revealed four linear pits, two shallow small oval pits and a rectangular trough (2.3m x 1.5m; max. D 0.35m) all of which contained heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil in their fills. Slag was recovered from beneath the stones within the trough cut though there was no further obvious evidence of ironworking. Another fulacht fia (CO044-081----) lies c. 50m to the SSW on the opposite side of a stream.

• CO044-102 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  Archaeological testing in 2002 revealed a series of charcoal-filled pits, post-holes and areas of burning which were subsequently excavated in 2003 in advance of the construction of the N8 Rathcormac-Fermoy Bypass. A concentration of features discovered near the centre of the site included thirteen pits which ranged in size (diam. 0.25-0.7m; D 0.1-0.27m) and varied in shape from oval to circular. The pits were mainly filled with stone, occasional burnt bone and charcoal fragments. One pit, which was possibly a bloom smithing hearth, contained a large quantity of slag and was situated close to a roughly circular bowl furnace (diam. 0.46m; D 0.12m). The base of the furnace was packed with metallurgical waste and the fill contained large quantities of charcoal. A small limekiln and a series of fosses were revealed to the N of this area. Other features, which included two post-holes, a possible field boundary, a clay spread, a stone-filled pit, a boundary wall and an isolated pit, were considered to be of limited archaeological significance.
