What is recorded here

Excavated in 2005 under Ministerial Order No. A005 by Graham Hull on the route of the proposed Limerick Southern Ring Road Phase II (NRA sub number A005/1030; Hull 2005). The results were summarised as following; ‘A spread of burnt stone and charcoal-rich soil was identified at the margin of the north side of the River Shannon flood-plain and measured c. 7m by 7m and was 0.35m thick. The burnt stone was overlain by alluvium, suggesting that the site had been flooded. A rectangular trough (1.8m by 0.9m by 0.3m deep) was centrally located within the burnt-stone deposit and contained two poorly preserved worked timbers' (www.excavations.ie 2005, No. 962).
