What is recorded here

On the gentle E-facing slope of a low hill. This is one of two possible structures (see CO044-073004-) that were partially excavated in 2003 in advance of the construction of the N8 Rathcormac-Fermoy Bypass. The possible structure, which was identified by an area of fine cobbling, post-holes and a hearth, was discovered within the interior of a Bronze Age enclosure (CO044-073003-). As it lay largely outside the excavated area, it was not possible to determine its full extent or its function. (Cotter 2006a, 34-5; 2006c) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
