Excavation, miscellaneous

What is recorded here

Excavation is an east-west fosse beside an unclassified castle in County Cork, Ireland. Its date is unknown, but it still lies beneath the land where a house nearly erased it. The small features beside the ditch may have marked a gateway, a drain or a boundary for people who no longer leave names behind.
An E-W orientated fosse of unknown date along with 'two small confined features' were discovered during archaeological testing in advance of the construction of a single house c. 170m to the NNE of the site of an unclassified castle (CO024-151002-). It was recommended that these features be preserved in situ. (Richardson 2007, 494) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
