What is recorded here
Pre-development test excavations in 2000 identified medieval activity on the west facing sloping field close to Balrothery towerhouse (DU005-057006-). This comprised a broad curving ditch which produced stratified medieval pottery. This was cut by two other ditches which produced Leinster Cooking Ware (00E0034). The medieval activity was preserved in the open space of a housing estate. Archaeological monitoring (05E1187) in advance of housing construction revealed post-medieval cultivation furrows and surfaces.
