What is recorded here

Discovered prior to road construction (Excavation Licence No. 03E0888) and situated on a gentle S-facing slope in a low-lying area with a NW-SE section of a small meandering stream c. 40m to the S. Excavation revealed the walls of a rectangular structure (13.5m E-W x 8m N-S) with an internal dividing wall towards the E end and an entrance at the NW. Finds included a large assemblage of early Neolithic pottery, flint and a polished stone axe. It produced three C14 dates varying from calibrated dates of 3776-3655 to 3701-3526 BC. It was found in association with two other Neolithic structures (MO031-124---- and MO031-126----). (Walsh 2006, 404-5; 2011, 507-08) Date of revised upload: 27 July 2017
