Identified by Avril Hayes during archaeological pre-development testing (Licence 00E0855) associated with the Limerick Southern Ring Road Project. A Corn Drying Kiln (LI013-217----) was located to E. Excavated under licence no. 00E0855 ext. by Avril Hayes (Hayes 2001), the results were summarised as following; ‘A number of other features were located to the south and west of the kiln. The first was a possible rectangular structure aligned north–south, evidenced by a linear arrangement of large post-holes running parallel to a possible slot-trench 4m to the west of the post-holes. The second feature was a large oval pit, 2m by 1.4m, located 2.5m west of the drying kiln. A small amount of iron slag was recovered from the bottom of the pit, which may suggest that it was a metalworking pit.’ (www.excavations.ie 2001; 595 & 796, Hayes 2001).
