The excavation of site Garranedarragh 1 (Areas A and B) was undertaken along the route of the proposed N71 Chetwynd viaduct road scheme situated approximately 9km south-west of Cork City in November 2010.
Garranedarragh 1 comprised linear boundary ditches, furrows and drains associated with post-medieval field drainage and agricultural activity. The majority of features have been dated to the post-medieval period due to material such as glass, post-medieval pottery and brick found in many of the deposits and fills.
