What is recorded here

Barnageeragh in County Dublin is a phantom landscape where Bronze Age postholes, a ringfort and buried chambers vanished beneath modern development. Men and women likely heated water on burnt stones, raised timber roofs around central fires and stored grain in dark souterrains before roads and houses erased their markers. The ground no longer displays a single stone, yet it still holds the shape of hands that built there.

This monument was excavated (Licence no. 04E0185) in advance of development. Characterised by a series of pits from which medieval pottery was recovered, the site was truncated by post-medieval activity including a curvilinear ditch from which a sherd of 17th century Frechen ware was recovered (Lohan 2002, 19).
