What is recorded here

During archaeological test-trenching in advance of a housing development, a pit (diam. 0.28m; D 0.15m) was discovered. The pit contained a dark charcoal-rich fill with inclusions of cremated bone. A piece of limestone appears to define the northern edge of the pit. The pit shares similar characteristics with two other pit-burials (CO087-135----; CO087-140----) found in the vicinity. (Sherlock 2002, 13) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
