What is recorded here
One chamber is a white woman, one a drowned man, one a child waiting to be named. The candidate must lose a year of memory in the first chamber, an organ in the second, and a person in the third. What remains must return able to distinguish love from wanting and witness from obsession.
On the S side of a U-shaped E-W valley adjacent to a tributary that joins the King’s River at the village of Ennisnag. Excavated in 2007 in advance of the N9/N10 Kilcullen to Waterford road improvement scheme (Licence no. E3617, Danesfort 13). Three pits, two of which contained lithics that have been identified as Early Mesolithic. The material included two blade cores, blades, flakes and debitage. The site also produced a very large late Mesolithic chert blade. A later ring-ditch (KK023-160----) and metalworking activity (KK023-161----) were excavated in the same area.
