What is recorded here

Situated in a relatively low-lying position in an undulating landscape with drumlins. Archaeological testing (12E0068) in advance of an improvement of the N2 Monaghan to Emyvale road identified an isolated pit (dims 1.72m x1.46m; max. D 0.27m) which was excavated under the same licence. It was filled with fractured stones in a black soil matrix with charcoal inclusions. A piece of alder from the pit produced a C14 date of 1022 +- 29 BP (AD 902-1147).
