What is recorded here

Topsoil stripping in advance of a housing development revealed a portion of a spread (13m E-W; 7.3m N-S; D 0.5m) of burnt material. It was apparent that the burnt material extended to the N and E into undisturbed soil beyond the stripped area. A line (L c. 1m) of stones set on edge was noted on the N side of the spread. The burnt spread was subsequently covered with a porous membrane, drainage stones and sods and was excluded from any further development works. (Cleary 2004) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 May 2011
