What is recorded here

A large spread of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil was exposed during archaeological testing in advance of a large housing development and was excavated in 2006. Excavation revealed troughs, a roasting or fire pit and a possible shelter. A small area of burnt bone, which post-dated the fulacht fia was exposed a short distance to the SW. (pers. comm. D. Sutton) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
