What is recorded here

Habitation site in Longstone (Kilcornan parish) is a habitation site in Longstone (Kilcornan parish), County Tipperary, Ireland. Excavation in 1973-1976 found pottery beneath a multi-period funerary complex that includes a bowl-barrow, a standing stone, two ditch-barrows and a ring-barrow inside a circular enclosure. The earliest phase was a small Neolithic camp, and Beaker pottery shows the place was re-used in the Early Bronze Age before the central bowl-barrow was built.

Beneath a multi-period funerary complex consisting of a bowl-barrow (TS058-023003-), a standing stone (TS058-023004-), two ditch-barrows (TS058-023005- and TS058-023007-) and a ring-barrow (TS058-023006-), all contained within a circular enclosure (TS058-023002-). Pottery discovered during archaeological excavation during 1973-1976 indicates that the earliest phase of activity consisted of a small Neolithic camp. Beaker pottery associated with funerary and domestic activity indicates that the habitation site was re-used in the Early Bronze Age prior to the construction of the central bowl-barrow (TS058-023003-).
