Discovered during archaeological monitoring in advance of a large-scale housing estate within the demesne of Mallow Castle. A small pit (0.45m x 0.7m; D 0.18m) was excavated in close proximity to a levelled rath (CO033-011001-). The fill was found to contain a reddish brown silty clay with moderate inclusions of charcoal flecks and small round stones. Three sherds of possible Bronze Age or Neolithic pottery were recovered from the base of the pit. (Lane 2004a, 84)
