What is recorded here

Archaeological testing and excavation (Excavation Licence no. 05E0762, 05E0762 ext.) undertaken in 2005 in advance of development works revealed a bowl furnace used for smelting metal and a number of associated linear features. A large linear feature which extended through the site contained large quantities of iron slag and a fragment of a glass bead (Carroll 2008, 252). Radiocarbon results are awaited to confirm the dating. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 September 2013
