• TS087-007 House - Bronze Age
  Description

  On ground sloping gently to S, in gently undulating terrain, under pasture. No visible trace of houses above ground, though visible as cropmarks on an aerial photograph (GSI May 1977 R. 594/S. 691). House excavated (Excavation number E00246) prior to Cork-Dublin gas pipeline in 1982 (Doody 1987, 36-40, Hut 1) and further investigated in 1987 (Doody 2007, 29-32, Structure 1). Circular structure (diam. c. 6.5m), defined by ten perimeter post-holes (dims. 0.2-0.3m), on average 1m apart (ibid. 29). Three post-holes on the NE side of the structure may represent the position of a doorway (Wth c. 1.2m), while the outlying post-hole may suggest a porch or windbreak outside the entrance (ibid.). Internal features include a central hearth, post-holes and stake-holes clusters which may represent a cooking spit that was replaced on a number of occasions (ibid.). Seven pits were located inside the outer perimeter of posts with an eight found in the entrance area, these may have originally functioned as storage pits and were later reused as rubbish pits (ibid.). Finds included two sherds of pottery and an unstratified stone object (ibid.). One of the pits contained charcoal which provided a radiocarbon date of 2840+/- 35 BP; 1041-937 ca. BC. Five pit-like features, some containing stake-holes, were excavated S of this house and may be contemporary with the occupation of the house. This house overlies the W sector of an earlier Bronze Age house (TS087-007003-) and is possibly contemporary with a structure c. 8m to the SSW which has been interpreted as a house (TS087-007010-).

• TS087-007001 House - Bronze Age
  Description

  On ground sloping gently to S, in gently undulating terrain, under pasture. No visible trace of houses above ground, though visible as cropmarks on an aerial photograph (GSI May 1977 R. 594/S. 691). Three-quarters of this house excavated (Excavation number E00246) prior to Cork-Dublin gas pipeline in 1982 (Doody 1987, 36-40, Hut 2). Circular structure (diam. 4m), defined by a shallow foundation trench which contained five post-holes (Doody 2007, 20-22, Structure 2). A centrally place post-hole in the interior may have functioned as a supporting post (ibid. 22). A possible entrance feature consisting of a narrow opening (Wth max. 0.3m) represented by a break in the foundation trench existed in the NW quad. (ibid.). The terminals of the foundation trench expanded at this point and two post-holes were recorded on the S side where the foundation trench turned inward towards the interior of the structure with a post-hole also at the N terminal (ibid.). Bronze Age houses (TS087-007002-) and (TS087-007003-) are located c. 4m to SE and c. 5m to E respectively. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 19 November 2013

• TS087-007002 House - Bronze Age
  Description

  On ground sloping gently to S, in gently undulating terrain, under pasture. No visible trace of houses above ground, though visible as cropmarks on an aerial photograph (GSI May 1977 R. 594/S. 691). House excavated (Excavation number E00246) prior to Cork-Dublin gas pipeline in 1982 (Doody 1987, 36-40, Hut 3). Circular structure (diam. c. 3m), defined by a shallow foundation trench which contained four irregularly spaced post-holes (Doody 2007, 21-22, Structure 3).Entrance represented by a break in the foundation trench on the S side (Wth 0.6m) flanked on either side by substantial post-holes (ibid. 22). House (TS087-007001-) and house (TS087-007003-) are located to c. 4m to E, c. 4m to S respectively. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 20 November 2013

• TS087-007003 House - Bronze Age
  Description

  On ground sloping gently to S, in gently undulating terrain, under pasture. No visible trace of houses above ground, though visible as cropmarks on an aerial photograph (GSI May 1977 R. 594/S. 691). House excavated (Excavation number E00455) in 1987-1991 (Doody 2007, 22-25, Structure 4). Though completely excavated only sections of the S and E survived as remainder was probably destroyed when then a later house (TS087-007----) was built over most of this house (ibid. 22). Circular house (diam. c. 5m) was defined by foundation trenches with associated stake- and post-holes, with a probably entrance on the E side (Wth c. 1m) (ibid.). Internal features include a shallow off-centre hearth with a cluster of stake-holes on its W edge and two post-holes on the S side which may represent a spit over the fire, there were also other internal post-holes, function unknown (ibid. 22-25). Three Bronze Age houses (TS087-007002-), (TS087-007001-) and (TS087-007004) are located c. 4m to N, c. 5m to NE and c. 3m to S respectively.

• TS087-007004 House - Bronze Age
  Description

  On ground sloping gently to S, in gently undulating terrain, under pasture. No visible trace of houses above ground, though visible as cropmarks on an aerial photograph (GSI May 1977 R. 594/S. 691). House partially excavated (Excavation number E00455) in 1987-1991 (Doody 2007, 24-26, Structure 5). The E portion of this house was excavated and it is likely to have been circular (estimated diam. c. 5m) (ibid. 25). It is defined by intermittent foundation trenches and post-holes and an inner ring of post-holes concentric with the outer slot foundation trench may represent roof supports (ibid.). A gap (Wth 1m) between the foundation trench and a post-hole may represent an E-facing entrance (ibid.). Internal features included three stake-holes, possibly some form of internal fitting and a post-hole (ibid.). A radiocarbon date from charcoal in a post-pit provided a date of 2850+/-35BP; 1050-947 cal. BC. An irregularly-shaped pit (dims. 1.7m x 0.78m; D 0.45m), filled with silt and large stones, was immediately E of the entance, function unknown (ibid. 26). House (TS087-007003-) and house (TS087-007005-) are located c. 3m to N and adjacent to the SE respectively. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 20 November 2013

• TS087-007005 House - Bronze Age
  Description

  On ground sloping gently to S, in gently undulating terrain, under pasture. No visible trace of houses above ground, though visible as cropmarks on an aerial photograph (GSI May 1977 R. 594/S. 691). House almost entirely excavated (Excavation number E00455) in 1987-1991 (Doody 2007, 26-28, Structure 6). Sub-rectangular in plan (diam. 3.4m N-S; 4.4m E-W), defined by foundation trenches and post-holes (ibid. 26-27). A gap (Wth 0.43m) in the foundation trench on the E side together with an inturned terminal suggests an E-facing entrance (ibid. 26). There were a number of internal stake-holes and pits (27-28). This house overlies house (TS087-007007-) and adjoins house (TS087-007004-) immediately to NW. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 20 November 2013

• TS087-007006 House - Bronze Age
  Description

  On ground sloping gently to S, in gently undulating terrain, under pasture. Roughly circular structure, partially excavated (Excavation number E00455) by Doody (2007, 18-19, Structure 7). An excavated slot trench with stake-holes appears to represent the NW arc of a structure, interpreted by the excavator as a house (ibid. 19). The N terminal of the trench was marked by a small post-hole, while the S terminal was marked by a larger post-hole which contained charcoal providing a radiocarbon date of 3030+/-70BP; 1407-1215 cal. BC (ibid.). House (TS087-007001) and house (TS087-007005-) located c. 5m to NNW and SE respectively. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 20 November

• TS087-007007 House - Neolithic
  Description

  On ground sloping gently to S, in gently undulating terrain, under pasture. Rectangular house, partially excavated (Excavation number E00455) by Doody (2007, 13-16, Structure 8). The walls of the house were constructed using double rows of post and stakes set into a foundation trench (Wth c. 0.5m). Internal features include a circular pit (diam. 0.77m; D 0.3-0.44m), a shallow oblong depression and stake-holes, the latter possibly being remains of an internal fitting or screen (ibid. 16). A radiocarbon date of 4190+/-50BP; 2893-2667 cal. BC was obtained from charcoal in the pit (ibid. 16). NW half of the house is overlain by a Bronze Age house (TS087-007005-).

• TS087-007008 Structure
  Description

  On ground sloping gently to S, in gently undulating terrain, under pasture. Structure partially excavated (Excavation number E00455) by Doody (2007, 32-35, Structure 9) which consists of a foundation trench (excavated L c. 6.2m) extending in an approximate NW-SE alignment which has been interpreted by the excavator as a palisade (ibid. 32). The trench contained c. 30 contiguous stake- and post-holes forming a single line of uprights in the base with some evidence of replacement posts (ibid. 35). The fill of the trench provided a radiocarbon date of 2730+/- 50 BP; 921-828 cal. BC which would place its construction in the Later Bronze Age (ibid. 32), post-dating the Bronze Age houses excavated in the vicinity including the closest (TS087-007005-) c. 2m to W and (TS087-007006-) c. 3m to N. The foundation trench cuts across the E wall of the Neolithic house (TS087-007007-) to the W (ibid. 32). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 20 November 2013

• TS087-007009 Structure
  Description

  On ground sloping gently to S, in gently undulating terrain, under pasture. No visible trace of houses above ground, though visible as cropmarks on an aerial photograph (GSI May 1977 R. 594/S. 691). Foundation trench excavated (Excavation number E00455) in 1987-1991 (Doody 2007, 28-9, Structure 10), interpreted by excavator as being a portion of a building which extended towards the E and based on construction morphology is similar to the excavated Bronze Age houses, TS087-007001-; TS087-007002-; TS087-007003-; TS087-007004-; TS087-007005-, located c. 13m to the NNW; c. 20m to NNW; c. 13m to NW; c. 12m to W and c. 8m to WSW respectively.

• TS087-007010 House - Bronze Age
  Description

  On ground sloping gently to S, in gently undulating terrain, under pasture. Possibly rectangular or sub-rectangular structure, partially excavated (Excavation number E00455) by Doody (2007, 32, Structure 11). A portion of a post-built structure which appears to be its E side, interpreted by the excavator as a house (ibid. 32). Based on constructional similarities the excavator has suggested it is contemporary with the house c. 8m to the NNE (TS087-007----). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 20 November 2013

• TS087-007011 Structure
  Description

  On ground sloping gently to S, in gently undulating terrain, under pasture. Linear structure (excavated L 13m) partially excavated (Excavation number E00455) by Doody (2007, 34-35, Structure 12) consisting of a double row of stake- and post-holes representing 26 uprights (ibid. 35). The distance between the rows was 0.4-0.65m (ibid.). This has been interpreted by the excavator as a fence line running NE-SW, which could not be stratigraphically linked with any other excavated feature (TS087-007---- to TS087-007010- and TS087-007012-) (ibid.). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 20 November 2013

• TS087-007012 Kiln
  Description

  On ground sloping gently to S, in gently undulating terrain, under pasture. A D-shaped pit (dims. 0.6m x 0.45m; D 0.24m), excavated (Excavation number E00455) by Doody (1992, 43; 2007, 35) has been tentatively interpreted by the excavator as a kiln-type structure, despite the lack of charred plant remains normally associated with corn-drying or lack of metal or pottery production waste (ibid. 35). The pit sloped to a flat base with charcoal enriched fill and occasional heat-shattered stones and a stone floor was set into the base of the kiln (ibid.). A channel (dims. 0.9m x 0.28m; D 0.16m), interpreted as a flue, extended from the SE of the pit and was U-shaped in profile with slightly splayed sides sloping to a flat base (ibid.). Structure similar to kilns of the early medieval period (ibid.) and does not appear to be related to any other excavated feature (TS087-007---- to TS087-007011-).
