Discovered during archaeological testing in advance of the construction of the N8 Rathcormac-Fermoy Bypass and subsequently excavated in 2003. This informal hearth (1.7m x 0.9m), which comprised a thin layer of oxidised clay, was discovered underneath a charcoal-enriched silty clay layer. A sample of charcoal returned a radiocarbon date of AD 960-1040 cal. (O'Connell 2006e, 39). Two similar hearths (CO035-119----, CO035-120----) were found in the immediate vicinity. (O'Connell 2006d, 55-6; 2006e)
