What is recorded here

On a gentle SSW-facing slope, in pasture, on the N side of Schoolhouse Road, Castletroy. Not depicted on OS historic mapping. Identified by Flor Hurley in 2003 during monitoring (License No. 03E1382) for a housing scheme known as Glantan and excavated (License No. 03E1717) by Niamh O’Callaghan later in 2003. Area 6 (50m to S of Area 1) contained four cremation pits which were situated c. 15m to NE of miscellaneous excavation (LI005-088003-). These were similar in size and form to those excavated in Areas 1 and 2. They all contained fragments of cremated bone and a small number of pottery sherds were recorded in two examples. Two of the cremation pits were oval-shaped and two were circular-shaped and all contained charcoal and burnt bone within the deposits (Hurley 2003, 9-10). See attached plan extract from monitoring report (Hurley 2003). Compiled by: Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly Date of upload: 30 June 2020
