What is recorded here

Situated on low-lying ground c. 200m W of the NW-SE Garraun stream, and c. 650m NW of where the stream enters the Tramore Back Strand. Archaeological monitoring (00E0903) recorded three pits, one (dims. 2.6m x 1.7m; D 0.56m) with a double bottom, suggesting it may have been a kiln, the others (diam. 0.5m; D 0.11m) smaller and shallower. The pits contained silty clays with charcoal flecks, and flint debitage was recovered in the ploughsoil. (Tierney, J. 2002c) Tierney, J. (2002c) Crobally Lower, Tramore. Prehistoric. In Bennett, I.
