During archaeological monitoring of topsoil in advance of the construction of the N22 Ballincollig Bypass, a subcircular pit (0.44m x 0.41m; D 0.07m) was discovered. The upper part of the pit had been removed during topsoil stripping. The pit contained a small quantity of poorly preserved cremated bone and 22 sherds of pottery, which appear to be from the bowl tradition of the Early Bronze Age. A radiocarbon date of 2300-2040 BC was obtained from charcoal in the pit. A pit (CO073-118----) with sherds of Bronze Age pottery but no cremated bone is located 100m to the SW. (Danaher 2004c, 61) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record CO073-124
