What is recorded here

Winter storms in 2014 tore open the Callow shoreline, exposing two burials and the forgotten kitchen beneath them. Burnt earth, post-holes and pits held shells, fish, bird and animal bones, marking a place where people ate, fired and lived before death claimed them. The sea gave up what time had buried, turning a hidden midden into a visible record of ordinary days.

During the course of the excavation of two burials (see GA049-030----) that were exposed along the shoreline following a series of winter storms in 2014, an occupation layer/midden was noted beneath them. It consisted of burnt areas, post-holes and pits – some of which appeared to contain shells, fish, bird and animal bones (information from the National Museum of Ireland, February 2016).
