Just W of the corn-drying kiln (ME025-095003-) and the cistern area (ME025-095002-) an L-shaped gully (L c. 50m; Wth 1.2-1.4m; D 0.1-0.4m) runs NNW-SSE (L 48m) and turns SW (L 10m) just N of the major E-W channel of the cistern area where it ends. The single fill of silty clay yielded a clay pipe stem, and although its full extent cannot be gauged it is thought to enclose a small plot to the W. Its SW section ran parallel to and just N of an earlier ditch (L 15m plus; Wth 2.3m; D 0.5m) that turned NW at its W end while its NE end emerged from but was earlier than the major E-W ditch in the cistern area. Three cuts of this ditch were identified and although sherds of medieval pottery were scarce, post-medieval material was entirely absent and this is thought to be the remnant of a medieval field system. Archaeological testing (22E0165) by S. McGlade just to the SW produced no related material (excavations.ie 2022:094).
