Ring-ditch (AA2) in Trench 9 located in S quadrant of development site in Shanganagh Park, Shankill, Dublin 8. Archaeological testing was carried out over the course of 5 days from 18 September 2023 using a mechanical excavator fitted with a flat grading bucket. The trenches targeted a series of geophysical anomalies and open green space to fully investigate the archaeological potential of the site. Testing revealed five areas of archaeological significance, which have been designated as Archaeological Areas 1-5. The report was undertaken by Paul Duffy of IAC Archaeology under Licence No. 23E0758. AA2 is located towards the centre of the proposed development area and comprises a ring-ditch (C32), an external pit (C34) and at least four small pits (possible cremation pits) enclosed by the ditch (C34A-D) c. 12m in diameter and associated bank which enclose a central cluster of pits that may represent cremation pits. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien based on details provided by Paul Duffy.
