What is recorded here

Mammoth bones and flint knives still lie scattered across the flat field, marking a place where human hands first shaped stone before written history began. The land has been walked, hunted and worked for so long that every layer belongs to someone. What is buried there is not dead; it is waiting to be remembered.

A field walking survey in 2000 on the site of the Battle of the Boyne (1690) revealed a number of notable flint concentrations. The material dated broadly to the Neolithic and Early Bronze age periods. This particular concentration close to a break in slope on the western side of the field.
