What is recorded here

In 2002, archaeological excavation (Licence no. 02E1002) of an early medieval enclosure (KD004-039----) was undertaken as part of the M4 Kinnegad-Enfield-Kilcock Motorway Scheme. The interior of the site produced evidence of three structures (KD004-039001-, KD004-039002- and KD004-039003-) and a metalworking site (KD004-039004-). Structure A (KD004-039003-) was defined by a collection of pits and stone-packed post-holes centred on a hearth feature. The hearth was associated with a number of stake-holes that may have held a series of spits over the fire. (www.excavations.ie) Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
