What is recorded here

Following archaeological test-trenching in advance of a multi-phase housing development at Carrigaline Middle, a small area of scorched reddish-orange soil was discovered. There were areas of dark charcoal-rich material with inclusions of burnt bone and heat-shattered sub-angular stones, possibly indicative of a burnt mound, immediately to the N and S. (Sherlock 2002) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
