What is recorded here

One chamber held breath, one chamber held anger, and the door between them answered the question being asked.
Archaeological testing was carried out in the vicinity of a rath (CO087-030----) and Man-made underground passage (C0087-089----) in advance of a large multi-phase housing development at Carrigaline Middle in 2001. A roughly oval pit (F6), measuring 1.3m E-W by 0.65m N-S and containing a fill of silty material with frequent amounts of heat-shattered stones and occasional flecks of charcoal, was uncovered to the NNW of the rath (CO087-030----). The pit was referred to by the excavator as a burnt pit. (Sherlock 2002, 1-27; 2003l, 33; 2004, 62-3) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
