Test-trenching was carried out as part of an assessment along a stretch of c. 40km of the proposed N8 road improvement scheme from Cullahill, Co. Laois, to Cashel, Co. Tipperary. Located to the N of Glashare Stream. A circular pit (diam. 0.85m; D 0.06m) with two protruding linear offshoots (both L 1m; Wth 0.3m), one running SW, the other SE. The pit was filled by grey/black charcoal-rich silty clay. A small box-section revealed that the pit was only 0.06m in depth. The offshoots were filled with grey/black silty clay that contained frequent charcoal flecks. The sides of the two offshoots were fire-reddened, suggesting in situ burning. The plan and form of this feature suggests that it is a kiln. (Moriarty 2008, 294) Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 25 January 2018
