Medieval field system identified by geophysical survey carried out in April 2024 (Terradat (UK) licence ref. 24R0253 & followed up with archaeological testing in August 2024 – licence ref. 24E0805 which confirmed the nature of the remains. Work was carried out in advance of planning to inform design options for a possible future development. Archaeological remains were identified in trenches T5, T6, T7, T8, T13 and T14 and for the most part comprised linear ditches and gullies, but also included pits, spreads and a possible stone surface or remnants of a stone structure in Trench T8 where there was a concentration of complex archaeological remains. Testing confirmed a medieval date for the site, with frequent finds of 12th-14th Century pottery present in the fills of tested features and a plough pebble recovered from topsoil is evidence of 13th Century agricultural practices at the site. The pottery has been identified as mostly Dublin type ware and Leinster Cooking ware.
