What is recorded here

Test excavation (Licence no. 08E0058) was undertaken in advance of a proposed development on lands immediately S of Church road which forms part of St Colmcille’s ecclesiastical enclosure (DU011-034002). It revealed two shell middens associated with a fragment of worked antler which were identified and interpreted as indicative of occupation in the early medieval period (Myles 2008, 11).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record DU011-034020
