What is recorded here

Glanworth, Rock Abbey, Boherash, Glanworth. Four undated pits emerged beside a medieval hut site when housing work began in 2004. Three were dug sequentially in the trench corner, while the fourth kept two stake-holes and resisted full exposure. The ground was not empty; it was layering human attention, marking, remembering and changing before anyone lived above it.

Within the historic town (CO027-042----) of Glanworth, to the SW of 'Rock Abbey' (CO027-040----). Four undated pits were excavated in advance of a housing development in Boherash townland in 2004. All four pits were situated in trench 2, to the NW and S of an adjacent medieval hut site (CO027-200----). One pit was only partially excavated and this was associated with two stake-holes. The remaining three pits were uncovered in the NW corner of the trench and were fully excavated. These latter pits were found to be sequentially dug.
