What is recorded here

Abbeyland South is a large pit beneath a modern carpark in County Meath, Ireland. It is about 3m wide and 1m deep, and it holds animal bones, charcoal and medieval pottery. The pit lies below two old walls, marking a forgotten corner of human life buried under ordinary traffic.

Archaeological testing (12E0271) by Donald Murphy recorded a large pit (diam. c. 3m; D 1m) commencing below the level of two mapped walls which were confirmed in the testing. The pit could not be fully excavated but it contained animal bones, charcoal and medieval pottery (excavations.ie 2012:468) and is preserved under a carpark.
