Within the historic town (CO027-042----) of Glanworth, to the SW of 'Rock Abbey' (CO027-040----). Nine undated pits were excavated in advance of a housing development in Boherash townland in 2004. The pits were situated in trench 4 and were found to be irregular, linear or subcircular in plan. The pits ranged in diameter from 0.2 to 2.5m and in depth from 0.02 to 0.71m. Four of the pits were dug along the line of a linear ditch-like feature (CO027-202----). The remaining five pits were randomly dispersed in this trench. (Cleary 2006a; 2007, 87-126) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
