What is recorded here
On gentle W-facing slope, in low-lying pasture, c. 200m NE of the Groody River. Not depicted on OS historic mapping. Identified within the interior of enclosure (LI005-085002-) by Avril Hayes in 2002 during testing (Licence No. 02E1787) in Field 2 in advance of a residential development including private houses, student accommodation and support facilities (Hayes 2003, 4). This uncovered a circular-shaped cremation pit (diam. 5m) which was then excavated (Licence No. 04E1454) by Avril Purcell in 2004 (Purcell 2004).
See attached plan extract from excavation report (Purcell 2004).
