Excavation

Excavation, miscellaneous

What is recorded here

On a SE-facing slope. Excavated in 2007 in advance of the N9/N10 Kilcullen to Waterford road improvement scheme (Licence no. E3606, Area A). A cluster of post/stake-holes centred around a small pit in the north of area A. The pit contained three small sherds of middle Bronze Age pottery. Samples from this pit yielded a radiocarbon date of 1081-921 cal BC (UBA-14022). A second cluster to the S formed a rough NE-SW line, possibly representing a fence. One of these post-holes was radiocarbon dated to the middle Iron Age (356-117 cal BC (UBA-14021)).
