What is recorded here

Archaeological testing carried out by Billy Quinn for IAC Ltd. under licence no. 03E1017 revealed an isolated burnt spread in Trench no. 8. An investigation of the deposit along its northern edge produced no finds. The burnt spread was defined by an anomalous charcoal enriched sandy silt deposit situated 3m from the SW terminal of the trench. This layer 5m in length by 0.4m in width overlay an associated oxidised deposit of burnt red material C7. Both deposits were approximately 0.6m below the original ground level and contained no dateable artefacts. The spread was subsequently recorded and covered in plastic. Above information taken from unpublished excavation report by Billy Quinn 2003, Report on the archaeological testing of test area 11 (EIS Sites 4 & 5) N15 Bundoran-Ballyshannon By-Pass.
