What is recorded here

Excavation near Youghal in County Cork exposed two small round holes and a possible standing stone, proving the land held older hands before modern development arrived. Struck flint in the northern hole suggests people chipped tools there long ago, while the stone in the south waits to be judged. The site is small, but it catches the breath because ordinary ground can hide forgotten life.

Excavation at a proposed development to the SE of the medieval town of Youghal (CO067-029001-) revealed two small subcircular features. Struck flint was recovered from the most northerly of the two spreads. A possible standing stone (CO067-091----) is situated in the SW area of the proposed development.
