Excavation, miscellaneous

What is recorded here

Excavation near a man-made underground passage in County Dublin revealed a hearth, three postholes, a bivallate ringfort and part of a sub-rectangular field system dated to the 7th-10th centuries AD. The site also holds traces of prehistoric, medieval and post-medieval activity. What lived there across centuries is no longer certain, but the layering suggests a place repeatedly returned to, shaped and remembered.
