New monument uncovered during excavation by Ros O Maolduin under licence number 03E0633 in advance of the M7 Heath-Mayfield motorway scheme.
The excavation at site F at Cappakeel townland revealed a prehistoric ring-ditch (LA009-050), a linear ditch (LA009-051) of medieval date and a series of charcoal production pits. A large number of pits following a discernible pattern and interpreted as charcoal-production pits were uncovered. They were all subrectangular, measuring 2m by 1m, were quite shallow, packed with charcoal, and portrayed evidence of intense burning in situ (Bennett 2006, 289).
