A post and wattle structure, probably a fishtrap, excavated by Ian Doyle as part of the Kilkenny Flood Relief scheme on the W bank of the Nore directly underneath the existing John's Bridge (NIAH 12000229) and adjacent an abutment of the preceding 1772 bridge (KK019-026070-) (Doyle 2004, 28-9; 2006, 271-2). Two collapsed post-and-wattle fences, probably representing a N-S orientated V-shaped fishtrap (estimated total dims. L 4.8m x W 1m), were exposed and excavated. Two timber samples from the structure produced radiocarbon dates of 755-400 BC and 755-403 BC. The structure continued beneath the W bank.
