What is recorded here

Excavated by Sarah McCutcheon (02E1213) when 'monitoring of the Croagh Sewerage Scheme was carried out. The second area was c. 234m from the treatment plant. It consisted of a charcoal-enriched silt, which survived intermittently for a maximum of 8m east-west by 9m. The silt varied from a thin layer to a smear on the underlying boulder clay. The most extensive area measured 1.5m by 1.4m. Several small pits were also identified but proved to be modern.'
