2011:086 - CARRIG DEMESNE, Cork

The work relating to this site was undertaken in January 2011. The excavation of three test trenches across the site of a designed landscape feature (CO033-040) did not reveal any evidence for subsurface elements such as a fosse or any associated features which could be interpreted as archaeological in nature. The ‘monument’ is likely to have comprised a topographical feature apparent as a natural rise in the ground level, defined by a rocky break of slope at its southern side. This test excavation was undertaken at the request of the County Council owing to its proximity to a private dwelling house for which retention (permission) was being sought.
