2003:0238 - CORK: Watercourse Road, Cork

Cork Corporation requested testing in advance of a Grant of Planning for the construction of several apartments and retail and commercial units at Watercourse Road, Cork. The site lies to the north of the zone of archaeological potential for Cork city and within the zone of archaeological potential for a distillery. The development site was once a part of the extensive 18th-century Watercourse Distillery. Two features were exposed during testing, a section of drain and part of a wall, both likely to have been a part of the distillery. The remains of the grain store building destroyed by fire in the 1950s and subsequently demolished were also found.
