A concentration of twenty stake-holes were excavated in 2003 in advance of the construction of the N8 Rathcormac-Fermoy Bypass. The stake-holes ranged in size (av. diam. 0.1-0.9m; av. D 0.1-0.9m) and were mainly circular or subcircular in plan. They were clustered immediately to the W of a corn-drying kiln (CO035-133----) but no discernible pattern was apparent. According to the excavator (O'Connell 2006i, 39), there were no stratigraphic or spatial evidence to group these features in association with the kiln. A number of dispersed pits were also recorded in this area. The fill of one of these pits contained frequent charcoal inclusions and occasional heat-shattered stones. A number of artefacts including metal, pottery and a fragment of a rotary quernstone were also included in the fill. (O'Connell 2006h, 59; 2006i)
