What is recorded here

In pasture, on a gentle E-facing slope. A mound (13m NE-SW) of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil was discovered during drainage works in 1999. A drain (D c. 1.5m) cuts through the mound NE-SW and the burnt material is visible in its full depth. It was not possible to estimate the NW-SE dimension of the mound as it has been covered with material from the drain. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
