What is recorded here

Situated N of the round tower (CL029-009010-) on Inis Cealtra. Excavations took place in this area (licence no. E000180) in the 1970s (de Paor 2013). Post excavation work in 2015 resulted in a radiocarbon date of Cal AD 551-639 (UBA-30514) from a ‘trench’ or ditch showing the presence of features dating from the reputed foundation of the ecclesiastical site.
