Archaeological works, undertaken in 2004 in advance of the construction of the N8 Mitchelstown relief road, revealed a pit that exhibited signs of in situ burning. This burnt pit was part of a complex of almost 100 pits, post-holes and stake-holes (CO019-172----). Two sherds of prehistoric pottery were discovered in an extremely shallow feature to the S. (Sutton 2006e; 2007d, 69-70) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
