The proposed N8 Rathcormac Fermoy By-Pass is approximately 17.5km in length and will extend from the northern end of the new N8 Glanmire-Watergrasshill Bypass in the townland of Meenane, passing to the west of Rathcormac and to the east of Fermoy and onto the northern tie- in point on the existing N8 Cork-Dublin Road at Moorepark West. A programme of advance archaeological investigation (phase one) was undertaken in May 2002, September 2002 and July 2003 under licences 02E0713-02E0720 issued by Duchas The Heritage Service to Donald Murphy and Deirdre Murphy. A total of forty-four sites were identified during this phase of works and they were subsequently resolved in 2003 during the second phase of the project (resolution phase). Mondaniel 3 was identified during phase 1 as stakeholes, postholes and linears. Archaeological resolution of this site commenced on the 21st August 2003 and was carried out by Annette Quinn under licence number 03E1094. Resolution of the site revealed a large complex of limekilns under a field-boundary bank and a possible sill-beam type structure adjacent to the limekilns. The results of specialist analysis when returned should provide information on the date, chronology and possible contemporaneity between the kilns and the rectangular structure.
