What is recorded here

In 1996 a circular, shallow, fire-reddened pit (diam. 0.75m) was discovered during archaeological test-trenching in advance of the construction of a factory. The pit was filled with charcoal and ash. A millstone and two incomplete fragments of millstones were also discovered in the vicinity but no archaeological structures that could be associated with the millstones were revealed. Subsequent archaeological monitoring did not reveal any further archaeological features. (O'Donovan 1996; 1997, 10) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
