What is recorded here

Excavation (01E0883) in Athboy, County Meath, exposed six intercutting medieval and post-medieval pits inside a robber trench along the old town wall. The wall cut across burgage plots later drawn on the 1836 Ordnance Survey map. People may have dug wells, storage holes or rubbish pits there while the town lived and changed.

Excavation (01E0883) within the town wall of Athboy has produced some evidence of medieval occupation in six intercutting medieval and post-medieval pits (max. diam. 4m; max. D 1.3m) inside the robber trench (Wth of top 1.45-2.2.5m; D 0.9-1.5m) on the WNW-ESE line of the town wall (L 50m plus). The robbed wall would have cut across the burgage plots depicted on the 1836 edition of the OS 6-inch map.
