What is recorded here

Clear water fell through the rock, filling the hollow and forcing the men to build a narrow stone ledge across the top. They cut local stone, fitted it without mortar and stepped on it only after testing each joint. The bridge still stands beside the road, small enough to be forgotten but strong enough to have changed the life of everyone who crossed it.

Excavated in advance of construction of the N9/N10 Kilcullen-Waterford Road (Excavation Licence number A021/045 (testing phase)). To the N of a single burial (CW012-119----), 'a possible post-hole and sub-rectangular pit were recorded. The pit contained evidence for burning in situ. Two narrow gullies or ditches were also identified, one of which contained burnt-mound-type material and small particles of burnt bone in its fill' (Hughs, J. 2008, 26). Reference: Hughs, J.
