What is recorded here

Kill is a post-medieval settlement in County Kildare, Ireland. Its enclosed structures and boundaries date to the 1700s, while slag and ceramics stretch the human story into the 17th century. The M7 construction exposed what routine life had buried: cooking, working, wandering, and staying.

In 2003, prior to construction of the M7 Heath-Mayfield Motorway, the site, previously identified during centre-line testing (Excavation licence No. 03E0127), was archaeologically excavated (Excavation Licence No. 03E0635 www.excavations.ie Accessed 28 August 2012) revealing the remains of a possible post-medieval enclosed settlement, together with structures and boundaries thought to date to the 1700s. Finds included slag and 17th-century and early modern ceramics. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 29 August 2012
