The Archaeological Heritage of Co. Cork Supported by the Heritage Council The Archaeological Heritage of Co. Cork supported by The Heritage Council The Archaeological Heritage of County Cork is going to be the 8th addition to the Heritage of County Cork Publication Series. It is hoped that this book will be published along with The Colourful Heritage of County Cork come November of this year. The following document gives you an insight into the types of various different sites which are currently being considered for inclusion in the upcoming publication. A brief description accompanies the majority of the included photographs to give an idea of the history associated with the site itself. From stone circles to forts, holy wells and standing stones, our County really has an abundance of heritage on offer! Drombeg Stone Circle Drombeg Stone Circle is located c. 2.3km east of Glandore village and is surrounded by a green field filled landscape. The site not only contains a stone circle but also consists of a hut site and fulacht fia. The stone circle itself was excavated in the 1900’s, when five pits were discovered beneath the ground, one of which contained some human bone remains, shale fragments and shards of coarse fabric pots. A horseshoe shaped dry stone enclosing bank, a slab-lined cooking pit, a u-shaped hearth and a well with an associated overflow drainage channel were some of the other features exposed following the excavation of the site.

Image Captured By: Enda O’Flaherty 1 | P a g e Kealkill Stone Circle Kealkill Stone Circle is located in the picturesque, hilly region which overlooks Kealkill village to the west. This setting is quite dramatic in the sense that it almost has a 360 panoramic view of the surrounding landscape, with the Shehy Mountains located to the North and East. This site is special as it presents three different monuments in the one, as we can see from Figure 2 below; a five stone circle as well as a stone pair and a radial stone cairn are among the features exhibited. Figure 2: Keakill Stone Circle, Stone Pair and Stone Cairn. Image Captured By: Áine Brosnan. 2 | P a g e Camden Fort Meagher Camden Fort Meagher contains fortifications which date back as far as 1550 with some additional fortifications erected in 1600. In the late 1600’s, the fort was invaded and was put under attack. The fort was later remodeled with extra defenses being incorporated in 1799 following the transfer of the naval establishment from Kinsale to Haulbowline as a form of protection. Camden Fort was also briefly used as a prison in the early 1800’s and underwent big reconstruction in 1861. The ‘Brennan Torpedo’ which has been classified as the world’s first practical guided missile was fitted in only eight locations worldwide, Camden Fort being one of those eight. Cork County Council acquired the fortification in 1989 with the intention of turning it into a major tourist attraction, however the fort became overgrown and fell into dereliction over the following twenty one years. Finally in 2010, together with the help of Cork County Council along with the community in Crosshaven, a big clean up and restoration works began and a ‘Rescue Camden’ committee had been formed. In 2013, the fortification was officially renamed Camden Fort Meagher as this year marked the 75th anniversary of the handover of the fort to the Irish authorities. There are several buildings present on site including barracks, workshops, offices, a sports centre, an officer’s house, officer’s mess and batteries. Unfortunately due to the ongoing pandemic and in line with public health guidance, Camden Fort Meagher will remain closed for the remainder of 2020 and will re-open in May 2021.

Local legend suggests that these stones marked the burial sites of the six chieftains. However, stone rows don’t normally mark burial grounds, and it has also been suggested that this alignment indicated a calendar of sunrises/sunsets at particular dates for farming purposes. Figure 4: Beenalaght Stone Row. Image Captured By: Donie O’Sullivan. Buttevant Abbey Buttevant Abbey is located along the main street of Buttevant town, to the west of the River Awbeg. The interior of this rectangular ruin has been used for burials, and withholds burials which date from the 18th, 19th and 20th century. The ornate cruciform church was constructed using course limestone ashlar and topped with an embattled parapet and hood moulded windows. Figure 5: Buttevant Abbey. Image Captured By: Sheila Fitzgerald. 4 | P a g e St. Johns Well St. Johns Well, officially known as ‘Mushera Holy Well’ is located near the summit of Musheramore Mountain. This well is visited by many each year and in particular on June 24th as Saint John’s Feast Day is celebrated on this date. It is thought that this well water would result in the healing of warts. Figure 6: St. Johns Well. Image Captured By: Tricia O’Rourke. Lissaniska Ringfort Lissaniska Ringfort consisted of three substantial circular rampards with deep trenches between them. According to local legend, these deep trenches acted as moats which were fed by a tap into the nearby, Glengarriff Stream, hence the name Lissaniska or ‘The fort of the water’. The photo below portrays the defined circular shape which still exists on site. Two souterrains can also be found within the fort. Figure 7: Lissaniska Ringfort. Image Captured By: Donie O’Sullivan. 5 | P a g e Maughanasilly Stone Row Located on the slopes of Knockbrateenhill, c. 2km north-west of Kealkill village, this site has astounding views as it overlooks Toureen Lake. Excavations carried out in the late 1970s recovered a thumb- shaped flint scraper. Following the carbon-14 dating of basal peat, the date of 1678-1438 BC was retrieved. This five stone row has been observed to be aligned with the Winter Solstice sunset. Figure 8: Maughanasilly Stone Row. Image Captured By: Áine Brosnan. Ballingeary Clapper Bridge Ballingeary Clapper Bridge is made up of eighteen slabs which are resting on stone piers. Below the clapper bridge, to the south is a footpath which is partially paved and leads to the other clapper bridge which is situated over the main channel of the Lee River. Figure 9: Ballingeary Clapper Bridge. Image Captured By: James Buckley. 6 | P a g e Meenachoney Standing Stones The first pair of these standing stones are located on pasture on the south eastern slopes of Uctough Hill, these stones are c. 1.6m apart. The second of these pairs of stones are situated to the north east of the first pair and the final, single, standing stone which is located to the south east of the first set of stones and north east of the second pair of stones is oval in shape. These sets of stones make up what is known as Meenachoney Standing Stones. Figure 10: Meenachoney Standing Stones. Image Captured By: Gerard O’Rourke. 7 | P a g e Stone Alignment, Glandine The Stone Alignment at Glandine is located on a steep, north-east facing slope which is situated about a tributary leading into the Cummeen Stream. The stones stand c. 5.15m apart from one another and have an overall length of c. 6.5m. Figure 11: Glandine Stone Alignment. Image Captured By: Jim Quinn. Kilcrohane Marriage Stone Kilcrohane Marriage Stone lies to the eastern side of a now, ‘hard to define’ ringfort, is fallen and a partially embedded slab with a circular hole of a diameter of c. 0.14m. The stone is traditionally a site where young people used to go to plight their troth, joining their hands through the hole in the stone. Figure 12: Kilcrohane Marriage Stone. Image Captured By: Charlie McCarthy. 8 | P a g e Templebreedy Church and Graveyard This Church dates back to c. 1800 and is sited on a hill which overlooks the sea and the surrounding scenic landscape. It is situated within a graveyard and its limestone boundary walls remain in ruin. Figure 13: Templebreedy Church and Graveyard. Image Captured By: Siobhán Russell. Kiskeam Ogham Stones Figure 14: Kiskeam Ogham Stones. Image Captured By: Sheila Fitzgerald. 9 | P a g e Inchinelinane Standing Stone Figure 15: Inchinelinane Stone. Image Captured By: Bernice Corcoran. Dromagh Castle Figure 16: Dromagh Castle. Image Captured By: Sheila Fitzgerald. 10 | P a g e The sites shown above are just a few of the ones being taken into consideration for inclusion in The Archaeological Heritage of County Cork. Image after image was sent in by numerous members of the public for potential inclusion in the book. Not only does the finished product act as a very valuable resource to people of many ages, but the interaction with the public prior to production as well as the planning process of the book engages so many people and therefore increases our appreciation and mindfulness around heritage as well as nature and what is regarded as a valuable asset. From Ogham Stones such as those shown in Figure 14 to extraordinary, historic castles such as that displayed in Figure 16 as well as various Stone Alignments and Standing Stones, for example that shown in Figure 15 are some, to name a few of the possible sites which are being deliberated and considered as possible featured sites for the book.

  • Activity Workbook on Cork Harbour Through Time
    Activity Workbook on Cork Harbour through time Spike Island Glacis Walk - Information Panel 3 Let’s get started! You and your teacher or family can have fun with this colouring and activity book. You will learn about Cork harbour and it’s wonderful history on the following pages. The illustrations are shown both in colour and black and white. You can colour the black and white pages to match the colour images or you can do you own masterpiece. You can print off as many pages as you like and don’t forget to ask questions. Contents 1. Neolithic man (5000 years ago) 7. Military Fortification (Late 18th Century) 2. Early medieval period (500 - 1000 years ago) 8. Emigration and Departures (19th Century) 3. Arrival of the Vikings (914 AD.) 9. RMS Titanic 4. Vikings ‘more Irish than the Irish’ (1114) 10. Handing over of the Treaty Ports 5. Arrival of the Normans 11. Cork harbour today 6. An Atlantic Trade Gateway (from 17th Century) Key notes on illustration. The main focus of this drawing is the Rostellan Portal Tomb. Of interest, this portal tomb is inter-tidal now (at high tide it is semi-submerged) and therefore indicates that sea level has risen in Cork Harbour. Also, note that the early settlers would have made use of the large oyster beds that were then available in the harbour (sadly they are all gone now). we know that early settlers use to eat oysters in the harbour because there are many shell middens found throughout the harbour today (a shell midden is an archaeological term for large ‘fossil’ pile of oyster shells).

  • List of Irish Mountain Passes
    List of Irish Mountain Passes The following document is a list of mountain passes and similar features extracted from the gazetteer, Irish Landscape Names. Please consult the full document (also available at Mountain Views) for the abbreviations of sources, symbols and conventions adopted. The list was compiled during the month of June 2020 and comprises more than eighty Irish passes and cols, including both vehicular passes and pedestrian saddles. There were thousands of features that could have been included, but since I intended this as part of a gazetteer of place-names in the Irish mountain landscape, I had to be selective and decided to focus on those which have names and are of importance to walkers, either as a starting point for a route or as a way of accessing summits. Some heights are approximate due to the lack of a spot height on maps. Certain features have not been categorised as passes, such as Barnesmore Gap, Doo Lough Pass and Ballaghaneary because they did not fulfil geographical criteria for various reasons which are explained under the entry for the individual feature. They have, however, been included in the list as important features in the mountain landscape.
