What is recorded here

Found during archaeological monitoring of topsoil-stripping on the Celbridge Interchange in 2001. Subsequent excavation (Licence no. 01E0669) uncovered a stone-built kiln feature (KD011-042001-) set into one of the ditches of an enclosure (KD011-042002-) which also contained a ringditch (KD011-042----). Soil samples from the interior yielded grain, suggesting that this was a corn-drying kiln. This is also supported by the discovery of part of a quernstone in the kiln structure. A large pit nearby containing burnt material and an iron knife blade may also be contemporary. An Early Christian date is being suggested for this phase of activity.
