What is recorded here

Monitoring in advance of the development of the N18/N19 Road Scheme (Licence no. 98E0338) revealed five areas of activity. The main concentration consisted mainly of a series of post-holes and pits. A cobbled area overlay a small drainage channel and was subsequently covered by midden material consisting of stone, clay and animal bone. Finds included bone cylinders, fragments of a decorated bone comb, sherds of medieval pottery, bronze pins, fragments of rotary querns and a fragment of a possible decorated bone mount with rivet-hole. A large amount of animal bone was recovered from the site, a selection of which shows evidence of butchering. (Grant 2000, 18) Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 17 February 2015
