What is recorded here

In 2002, archaeological monitoring (Licence No. 02E0474) of topsoil- stripping along the proposed route of the N11 Newtownmountkennedy-Ballynabarny Road Scheme uncovered 'Site 7'. It comprised four small circular patches of charcoal-rich soil and burnt clay. Excavation revealed that two were merely the result of localised burning, being little more than 0.05m deep, and the third appeared to be the result of root activity. The fourth feature appeared to be the remains of a small pit, 0.6m in diameter and 0.13m deep, filled with a moderately compact, dark brown/black, silty clay with moderate charcoal flecking (Bennett 2004, 531). Date of upload: 30 October 2012
