One of two hearths (see CO035-120----) discovered during archaeological testing in advance of the construction of the N8 Rathcormac-Fermoy Bypass and subsequently excavated in 2003. A charcoal spread (0.9m x 0.8m; D 0.025m) overlying a deposit of bright orange/red oxidised clay was discovered c. 5.5m SE of a charcoal-making site (CO035-118----). This was interpreted as the remains of an informal hearth (O'Connell 2006e, 38). The other hearth (CO035-120----), which dates to the early medieval period, is c. 10m to the SE. Another early medieval hearth (CO035-121----) was found in the immediate vicinity. (O'Connell 2006d; 2006e) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
